SF #989185: Drop unicode.iswide() and unicode.width() and add
unicodedata.east_asian_width(). You can still implement your own
simple width() function using it like this:
def width(u):
w = 0
for c in unicodedata.normalize('NFC', u):
cwidth = unicodedata.east_asian_width(c)
if cwidth in ('W', 'F'): w += 2
else: w += 1
return w

- Added a workaround for proper string operations in BSDs. str.split
and str.is* methods can now work correctly with UTF-8 locales.
+- unicode.iswide() and unicode.width() is dropped and the East Asian
+ Width support is moved to unicodedata extension module.
