I disagree with much of your characterisation of the Unix assumption, and I point out that out of the two most widespread flavours of OS today, Linux/Unix and Windows, it is *Windows* and not Unix which still regularly uses legacy encodings. Also your link to Joel On Software mistakenly links to me instead of Joel. There's a missing apostrophe in "Ive" [sic] in Acknowledgment #2. I didn't notice any other typos. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
