[I18n-sig] thinking of CJK codec, some questions

[Brian Takashi Hooper]

Thanks, this is great advice, and the kind of feedback I have been looking
for!  Especially about not using PyCObject, which seemed like the thing
to do but I have to admit some naivete about its proper use.

I'll try thinking about this a bit more, along the lines you suggest.
