Yes, given that pypy strings use UTF-32 on Linux, they are not
compatible.  Note that CPython normally also uses UTF-32 on Linux (at
least in most major distributions), but that can be configured at
compile-time.

Leonardo: UTF-32 and UCS-4 are the same thing; the difference is only
UCS-2 which is a subset of UTF-16.


A bientôt,

Armin.
