Python Versions: 2.5 and trunk Browsing through the code this evening and noticed a discrepancy between the command line parameters listed with --help and those truly available in the code. Namely with the -U Unicode flag..
The -U option was added back in 2000, rev 15296 and mention of it was removed in rev 25288. Should the -U option still be handled from the command line? Python 2.5 Session without flag:

a = "monty" a
'monty'
