The 'u" string literal prefix was removed in 3.0 and reintroduced in 3.3 to help writing the code compatible with Python 2 and 3 [1]. After the dead of Python 2.7 we will remove some deprecated features kept for compatibility with 2.7. When we are going to deprecate and remove the "u" prefix?
Can we gather all the 2.7 compatibility shims and remove them in 3.9? If not, I would say let's deprecate whatever needs deprecating and remove them in 3.10. I don't think the u'' prefix needs the normal 2-cyle deprecation since it was added specifically for 2/3 cross-version code, and, as you say, "the dead of Python 2.7" has occurred (at least for us). -- ~Ethan~
