That it [handling generators] is difficult at all means removes
degree-of-difficulty as a strong motivation to switch.
Agreed. I will be following up with a more concrete idea (including
p-code) to better describe what is currently in my brain. (One half of
which will be just as objectionable, the other half, with Alex
Grönholm's input, far more reasonable.)
IOW, there are six specific facts someone needs to remember in orderto
know the type of a given CGI variable, over and above the merefact that
it's a CGI variable. Hence, "reference".
No, practically there is one. If you are implementing a Python 3
solution, a single value (original URI) is an instance of bytes, the
rest are str. If you are implementing a Python 2 solution, there's a
single rule you need to remember: values derived from the URI
(QUERY_STRING, PATH_INFO, etc.) are unicode, the rest are str.
Poloygot implementors are already accepting that they will need to
include more in their headspace before writing a single line of code;
knowing that "native string" differs between the two langauges is a
fundamental concept nessicary for the act of writing polygot code.
