How about this: we add a wchar_t codec to Python and the "eu#" parser
marker. Then you could write:
wchar_t value = NULL;
int len = 0;
if (PyArg_ParseTuple(tuple, "eu#", "wchar_t", &value, &len) < 0)
return NULL;
...
PyMem_Free(value);
return ...
or, for 8-bit strings:
char value = NULL;
int len = 0;
if (PyArg_ParseTuple(tuple, "es#", "latin-1", &value, &len) < 0)
return NULL;
...
PyMem_Free(value);
return ...
Is that symmetric enough ?
