Do I speak Chinese to my grocer because china is a growing force in the world? Or start every discussion with my children with a negotiation on what language to use? I get all the talk about Unicode, and interoperability and foreign languages and the world (I'm Icelandic, after all.) The point I'm trying to make, and which I think you are missing is this: A tool that I have been happily using on my own system, to my own ends (I'm not writing international spam posts or hosting a United Nations election, but parsing and writing config.ini files, say) just became harder to use for that purpose. I think I'm not the only one to realize this, otherwise, PEP460 wouldn't be there. Anyway, I'll duck out now *ducks* K _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
