And by doing so, I entirely forgot that you want to change the default
encoding from 'ascii' to 'utf-8'! Oops. Sorry about that.
Try changing this bit:
> else: # Never attempt decoding.
> obj = super(Unicode, cls).__new__(Unicode, string)
to this:
# Untested
else:
if isinstance(string, unicode):
# Don't do any decoding.
obj = super(Unicode, cls).__new__(Unicode, string)
else:
if encoding is None: encoding = cls._ENCODING
if errors is None: errors = cls._ERRORS
obj = super(Unicode, cls).__new__(
Unicode, string, encoding, errors)
You can probably clean up the method to make it a bit tidier.
