The analogous question would be why can't you get a non-Unicode character into a raw Unicode string. That wouldn't make sense, since Unicode strings can't even hold non-Unicode characters (or at least they're not meant to). But it doesn't seem unreasonable to want to put Unicode characters into a raw Unicode string. After all, if it only contains ASCII characters there's no need for it to be a Unicode string in the first place. -- Greg _______________________________________________ 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
