Potted summary for those who aren't familiar with jmf's trolling: Python 3.2 had a major bug in its Unicode handling, meaning that non-BMP characters were mis-handled. Python 3.3 fixes these AND improves performance on the whole. The complaints are about *very* specific use-cases, and the overall string-handling benchmarks have dramatically improved; but more importantly, the bug is fixed. There, now you too can killfile him without loss. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
