It's not a complaint, just something I thought of. If Japanese programmers aren't actually bothered by this, then I'm not either. > Another issue is that repr() is supposed to return an 8-bit string. If that's still true by definition in the new unicode-only world, then I guess there's no problem. But what do you mean by an "8-bit string" in py3k? A unicode string with all char codes <= 255, or a byte array? If the former, what's the rationale for making that 8 bits and not 7? I'm just trying to understand how the old rules and conventions translate to the new world. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
