[Python-Dev] _PyUnicode_New/PyUnicode_Resize

[Bill Tutt]

should be exported as part of the unicode object API.

Otherwise, external C codec developers have to jump through some useless and
silly hoops in order to construct a PyUnicode object.

Additionally, you mentioned to Andrew that the decoders don't have to return
a tuple anymore.
Thats currently incorrect with whats currently in CVS:
Python\codecs.c:PyCodec_Decode() current requires, but ignores the integer
returned in the tuple.
Should this be fixed, or must codecs return the integer as Misc\unicode.txt
says?

Thanks,
Bill
