I think we've reached a dead end. AIUI, that's a matter for a PEP, and the window for Python 3 is closed. I'm pretty sure that Python 3 is going to have sequences of code units only (I know, Guido said "code points", but I doubt he's read TR#17), except that people will sneak in some UTF-16 behavior where it seems useful. Until one or more of the senior developers says otherwise, I'm going to assume that. _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
