I'm glad you're thinking about this question, some explanation of the various string types is at http://wiki.cython.org/enhancements/stringliterals Probably the way to do this is have one optimization for bytes, one for unicode, and then have a third type for str that dispatches to the one or the other depending on the python version (using #define). - Robert _______________________________________________ cython-devel mailing list cython-devel@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cython-devel
