Pretty much. Narrow builds are buggy, so as much as possible, you want
to avoid using them. Ideally, use Python 3.3 or newer, where the
distinction doesn't exist - all builds are functionally like wide
builds, with memory usage even better than narrow builds (they'll use
8 bits per character if it's possible).

As a general rule, precompiled Python for Windows is usually a narrow
build, and Python distributions for Linux are usually wide builds. (I
don't know about Mac OS builds.) You can test any Python by checking
out sys.maxunicode - it'll be 65535 on a narrow build, or 1114111 on
wide builds (because that's the maximum codepoint defined by Unicode -
U+10FFFF - as it's the highest number that can be represented in
UTF-16).
