On its face, this statement is incorrect. It *might* be accurate if qualified by saying "a Unicode-aware Python 2 *web* application". I say "might" because I'm not an expert on web frameworks so I defer to those who are. It certainly can't be applied to the entire universe of Unicode-aware Python 2 applications. >Accordingly, I'd like to ask folks not to stress too much about the >precise wording until I get a chance to update it over the weekend :) /me takes a deep breath. :) -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
