I don't think this distinction is meaningful at all. In the end, everything is a byte string on a classical computer (including unicode strings displayed on your monitor, obviously). If you think the technicalities of an operation should never be hidden or abstracted away, then you're better off with C than Python ;-) Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ 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
