* Special case the "s#" PyArg_Parse() token for Unicode objects:Marc-André Lemburg2000-09-211-4/+4
| | | | | | | | "s#" will now return a pointer to the default encoded string data of the Unicode object instead of a pointer to the raw UTF-16 data. The latter is still available via PyObject_AsReadBuffer().

* Brian Hooper <brian_takashi@hotmail.com>:Fred Drake2000-05-031-0/+28
| | | | | | | Added 'u' and 'u#' tags for PyArg_ParseTuple - these turn a PyUnicodeObject argument into a Py_UNICODE * buffer, or a Py_UNICODE * buffer plus a length with the '#'. Also added an analog to 'U' for Py_BuildValue.
