Maybe a more interesting approach would be to expand on the `six` idea and bring some of those concepts into the stdlib for 3.3. You could implement the u() function somewhat more efficiently in an extension module, and make that available for older Pythons via the Cheeseshop. I now also have a few more Python and C level compatibility hacks that could make it into such a module. -Barry _______________________________________________ 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
