The information is in the release notes. I've added a pointer to the release notes in the message. Is this the section that you're referring to? Python has been compiled with UCS4 support (Unicode characters represented on 4 bytes) as opposed to UCS2. UCS4 allows one to represent characters outside of the Basic Multilingual Plane. Certain third-party libraries may stop working because of this change; recompiling these libraries should be sufficient to resolve the problem. Please note that "pure" python modules (whose code is written in python) or compiled modules that do not directly use Unicode are not affected by this change. If that's the case, I submit that this is no more helpful than the Anaconda message. |
