python

import sys
print sys.maxunicode

quit()
Which shows I am using UCS4

Would you kindly be able to suggest approaches to sort this out, please?

Are you running multiple installations of python on the same system? Try which -a python and which -a python2 to see how many python interpreters are on your PATH.

You'll want to ensure you are installing/compiling the package and running it with the exact same python.

May have rushed to conclusions. At the time, indeed, the system I was trying swiss on had both python3 (since it comes with Ubuntu 20) and python2 installed, with alternatives set and priority set to python2. Regardless, I tried a fresh start on a new virtual machine (for sudo privileges), used snapshots to change several times the order in which I installed/compiled several of the software/dependencies/compilers, gcc etc. All of this to say it worked and I have no idea what was significantly different this time. I will not dwell any more on this, but get on to making the machine work for me, rather than the reverse. All not before thanking you for your prompt response and help with troubleshooting. Last but not least, thank you and your team for developing these tools, as well as making them available! Best wishes, Anca Riza
