Hi,

I am using Django for about half a year and it rocks. Indeed, it would rock 
even more if it switched from using UTF-8 bytestrings to use unicode strings 
everywhere.

The main drawbacks of using UTF-8 strings are:
- regexps won't work on utf-8 bytestrings containing non-ASCII characters;
- lower(), upper(), etc. won't work on utf-8 bytestrings containing non-ASCII 
characters;
- slicing, like s[0:3], won't work on utf-8 bytestrings containing non-ASCII 
characters.

So, what's stopping Django from switching to unicode? Is someone working on 
it? And finally, what should I do to see my sweet Django fully 
unicode-aware? :)
