I used to use this code:

%MappedType wchar_t
{
%ConvertFromTypeCode
     if (!sipCpp)
     {
         Py_INCREF (Py_None);
         return Py_None;
     }
     return PyUnicode_FromUnicode(sipCpp, wcslen(sipCpp));
%End

%ConvertToTypeCode
     if (sipIsErr == NULL)
         return PyUnicode_Check(sipPy);

     size_t sz = PyUnicode_GetSize(sipPy);
     wchar_t *wc = new wchar_t[sz+1];
     wc[sz] = 0;
     PyUnicode_AsWideChar((PyUnicodeObject*)sipPy, wc, sz);
     *sipCppPtr = wc;
     sipTransferObj = Py_None;
     return 1;
%End
};


I'm now testing the native wchar_t support without it, but do you 
foresee any memory leak problems (which are pretty hard to find out...)?
