But isn't this currently ignored everywhere in python's code?
It's true that code using a utf-8 build would have to be aware of the fact much more often. But I'm thinking of applications that would otherwise want to keep all their strings encoded to save memory. If they do that, they also need to deal with sequence items not corresponding to characters. If they can handle that, they may be able to handle utf-8 just as well. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
