You can think of 'u' as being the default in python3 where 'b' was the default in python2 (not ascii) - but most stdlib functions would accept bytes as strings. So in python3, you don't need 'u' and you only occasionally need 'b' or to convert between the two. The defaults are generally better for the programming most people do imo. m -- Matt Billenstein m...@vazor.com http://www.vazor.com/ _______________________________________________ pypy-dev mailing list pypy-dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
