Terry J. Reedy added the comment: I basically agree with Ezio. The doc currently starts with
Introduction to Unicode History of Character Codes ... It ends with Tips for Writing Unicode-aware Programs. ... The most important tip is: Software should only work with Unicode strings internally, decoding the input data as soon as possible and encoding the output only at the end. I think the how-to should *start* with that general principle and continue with the specific task-based how-tos from the thread. This will tell people who at least vaguely know the following material how to get going in a practical manner. ---------- versions: +Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13997> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
