When I have an acquisition wrapped object, e. g. my_object and call:
unicode(my_object)
The method __str__ of my_object is called even when it has an __unicode__ method.
Acquisition wrappers only fill the tp_repr and tp_str slot and as far as I can tell there's no tp_unicode slot in PyObject_HEAD_INIT. So I'm not sure how to add the C equivalent of a __unicode__ to the Wrappertype and XaqWrappertype PyExtensionClasses. It would probably have to do a lookup for a __unicode__ method on the wrapped instance, call it if it exists and otherwise call its own __str__ - essentially duplicating the logic of the string type. My C-fu is too weak to attempt this. The workaround is to call unicode(aq_base(my_object)). Hanno
