Gregory P. Smith added the comment:
Correct, my characterization above was wrong (I shouldn't write these up
without the interpreter right in front of me). What is wrong with the
conversion is:
unicode("", "utf-8") in python 2.x should become either str(b"", "utf-8") or,
better, just "" in Python 3.x. The better version could be done if the codec
and value can be represented in the encoding of the output 3.x source code file
as is but that optimization is not critical.
In order for str() to take a second arg (the codec) the first cannot be a
unicode string already:
>>> str("foo", "utf-8")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: decoding str is not supported
