Scheme is adding Unicode support in an upcoming standard: (DRAFT) http://www.r6rs.org/document/lib-html/r6rs-lib-Z-H-3.html
I have two questions for the python-dev team about Python's Unicode experiences. If it's convenient, please take a moment to reply. Thanks in advance. 1. In hindsight, what do you think about PEP 261, the Py_UNICODE_WIDE build option? On balance, has this been good, bad, or indifferent? What's good/bad about it? 2. The idea of multiple string representations has come up (that is, where all strings are Unicode, but in memory some are 8-bit, some 16-bit, and some 32-bit--each string uses the narrowest possible representation). This has been discussed here for Python 3000. My question is: Is this for real? How far along is it? How likely is it?
