I don't know how to test "if Py_UNICODE_SIZE == 4 && SIZEOF_WCHAR_T == 2". On Windows, sizeof(wchar_t) is 2, but it looks like Python is not prepared to have Py_UNICODE != wchar_t for is Windows implementation. wchar_t is 32 bits long on Linux and Mac OS X. So how can I test it? Or should we just drop support of "Py_UNICODE_SIZE == 4 && SIZEOF_WCHAR_T == 2"?
