I understand ISO 8859-15 (Latin-9) to be the preferred Latin character
set for French, as it includes the Euro sign as well as a few
characters that are not in Latin-1 but are nonetheless infrequently
found in French.
Even for Latin-9 Python 3.3 can be a little faster 3.2.
$ ./python -m timeit -s "s=bytes(range(256))*100" "s.decode('latin1')"
Python 2.7: 105 usec
Python 3.2: 20.4 usec
Python 3.3: 4.98 usec
$ ./python -m timeit -s "s=bytes(range(256))*100" "s.decode('latin9')"
Python 2.7: 700 usec
Python 3.2: 94.6 usec
Python 3.3: 93.2 usec
