Please don't get rid of unicode+literals -- I don't even think we should depreciate it as a recommendation or discourage it.
Maybe a note or two added as to where issues may arise would be good. I've found importing unicode_literals to be an excellent way to write py2/3 code. And I have never found a problem. I'm also hoping that my py2/3 compatible code will someday be py3 only -- and then I'll be really glad that I don't have all those u" all over the place. Also it does "automagically" do the right thing with, for instance passing a literal to the file handling functions in the os module -- so that's pretty nice. The number of times you need to add a b"" is FAR fewer than "text" string literals. Let's keep it. -CHB -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov
