Can you post a piece of code that reproduces the problem ?

That looks like an oversight, especially since getCollationKey() is 
deprecated.

I now added it to svn: http://svn.osafoundation.org/pyicu/trunk/collator.cpp
I only checked that the code compiled. I didn't actually try to run this.
If you send me a piece of code that illustrates what you're after that would 
help.

Please try the fix out and let me know if it works.

Thanks !
