PYTH — Python Issue: Wide strings

Section 1.3.2 describes how wide strings (and wide chars) are mapped to an
implementation defined type.

It says that this type supports being passed to the std. python "len"
function – is the returned value of this supposed to be the length in wchars
or octets?

It says that CORBA.wstr returns a wide character with the code point "c" in
an implementation defined encoding. What happens if "c" not a valid code
point?

It says that "CORBA.word (CORBA.wstr (c)) == c". Does this also imply that
"len (CORBA.wstr (c)) == 1" and that CORBA.word only takes a wide string with
a length of one? What exceptions are raised if this is not true?

Since the len function always returns the number of elements in a sequence, it must return the numbe
