Hi All,
I am working on porting mailman3 to python3. There are few doubts I have
which may sound stupid, but I have a little knowledge about encoding and
charsets which I think is important for the port. Also this is my first
time working
on python3 so forgive me for asking anything obvious( I did try googling
first) The code is in very preliminary stages with tons of errors. Its up
on launchpad.

So my doubts:
1. `pkg_resources.resource_string` used to read the configuration files
while
initialization and testing now returns bytes instead of string(like in
python2).
So instead I use `pkg_resources.resource_stream` and deocode to the steam
to a `utf-8` encoding(why? to avoid errors for the time being). I wanted to
ask
what would be the best for this case?
2. To create a hash everywhere unicode strings must be encoded. So again the
same question what should I encode it to? UTF-8 or US-ASCII? Or someway to
determine which encoding should be used?
Also if anybody has suggestions on porting please let me know. I am online
sporadically on irc as `maxking` on #mailman (I see all of the messages sent
while I am away).
thanks,
Abhilash Raj
