To the OP: jmf has an unnatural hatred of Python 3.3 and PEP 393 strings. Take no notice; the rest of the world sees this as a huge advantage. Python is now in a VERY small group of languages (I'm aware of just one other) that have absolutely proper Unicode handling *and* efficient string handling.
