Comment #1 on issue 15 by ja...@xxxxxxxxxxxx: Python wchar_t and UTF-16
mismatch

I realise liblouis allows the widechar size to be configured separately,
but why would you want to compile for 16 bit widechars on a system which
has a 32 bit wchar_t?
If we do indeed need to support this, we're going to need two things:
1. A way to programmatically determine what widechar size liblouis was
compiled with; and
2. A way to handle the alternative widechar type in ctypes, which (as far
as I can tell) only handles wchar_t and char out of the box. I'm not sure
how to do this or if it's even possible. ctypes does provide functionality
to convert between C and Python types, so it should be possible, but I'm
not certain.
