[New-bugs-announce] [issue3280] %c format does not accept large numbers on ucs-2 builds

[Amaury Forgeot d'Arc]

New submission from Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <amauryfa at gmail.com>:

Since python3.0, chr(0x2f81a) works even on narrow Unicode builds, but 
>>> "%c" % 0x2f81a
OverflowError: %c arg not in range(0x10000) (narrow Python build)

Likewise, Py_BuildValue("C") should accept codes outside the BMP.
