Christoph Burgmer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Though I welcome the reopening of the bug for Python 3.0 I must say that plans of not fixing a core element rather surprises me.
I never believed Python to be a programming language with good Unicode integration. Several points were missing that would've been nice or even essential to have for good development with Unicode, most ignored for the sake of maintaining backward compatibility. This though is not the fault of the Unicode class itself and supporting packages. Some modules like the one for CSV are lacking full Unicode support. But nevertheless the basic Python would always give you the possibility to use Unicode in (at least) a consistent way. For me raising exceptions does count as basic support like this. So I still hope to see this solved for the 2.x versions which I read will be maintained even after the release of 3.0. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2517> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
