it seems that noone mentioned unicode in this discussion yet...

does this mean, that the plan is to have django-1.0 still use bytestrings?

because if yes, then i would recommend to "downgrade" newforms to 
bytestrings too.

the reason is consistency...

if i'm not mistaken, newforms works internally in unicode, and also 
outputs unicode... which is quite nice, but the problem is, the rest of 
django is in bytestrings...

so, at the end, in a django-view:

- GET/POST is in bytestrings
- newforms outputs unicode
- the templates output bytestrings
- the db-api outputs bytestrings

it is true, that with various hacks the newforms can be used from the 
bytestring-based templates, and also they can save models to the 
bytestring-based db-api. but it is not nice.


the other way is to switch django to unicode completely.

from the past discussion it seems, that many people wanted to work on it 
  , patches were created, so i think the unicode-conversion could happen 
in a reasonable time.

gabor
