So this wasn't really required now that it's been merged, but I wanted to
prove for my own sake that these wheels are going to work. Indeed they did,
with flying colors. psycopg2 wheels built on the modified manylinux1 image
(modified to include UCS-2 Python builds) and assembled with auditwheel
install and work (with SSL!) on as-bare-as-possible images of Debian 7 and
8, Ubuntu 12.04 and 14.04, Fedora 21, CentOS 6 and 7, openSUSE 13.2, and
refused to install on Alpine. I tested with as many "standard" Python and
setuptools versions as possible (e.g. Python 2 and 3 from APT on Debianish
systems; standard 2.6 plus 2.7 and 3.3 from SCL on CentOS 6, standard 2.7
plus 3.3 from EPEL on CentOS 7, etc.).

None of these standard builds are UCS-2, so it would be good to test the
wheels on some of these systems with a UCS-2 Python, but I ran out of time
for that. It would probably be a decent idea to test them with Enthought
and Anaconda as well.

Wheels are here:

Build/test scripts/logs are here:

And I PR'd the changes for UCS-2 Python builds in the Docker image:
