Thanks for all the replies.
Anto, re:
"- some_unicode.encode('utf-8') is essentially for free
(because it is already UTF-8 internally)
- some_bytes.decode('utf-8') is very cheap (it
just needs to check that some_bytes is valid utf-8)"
I guess you mean the processing load for such
operations will be low. So that's good then.
Just wish they would both go away ...
Matt, re:
"The defaults are generally better for the
programming most people do imo."
Probably correct, just got spoiled, that's all.
Had a glimmer of hope that the need for either
would vanish, and wishing someone knew how.
Dan, re:
"I think you mostly don't want u'foo' in 3.x or b'foo' in 2.x"
Actually, I don't want either, anywhere.
If UTF8 is used internally, and ASCII is
already UTF8, then it is all UTF8, so ...
Sigh ...
Thanks anyhow,
Jerry S.
