Folks, please focus on what Python 3000 should do. I'm thinking about making all character strings Unicode (possibly with different internal representations a la NSString in Apple's Objective C) and introduce a separate mutable bytes array data type. But I could use some validation or feedback on this idea from actual practitioners.
I don't want to see proposals to mess with the str/unicode semantics in Python 2.x. Let' leave the Python 2.x str/unicode semantics alone until Python 3000 -- we don't need mutliple transitions. (Although we could add the mutable bytes array type sooner.) -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
