I'm +1 on the PEP, for reasons already repeated here. We need three types of strings when supporting both Python 2 and Python 3. A binary string, a unicode string and a "native" string, ie one that is the old 8-bit str in python 2 but a Unicode str in Python 3.
Adding back the u'' prefix is the easiest, most obvious/intuitive/pythong/whatever way of getting that support, that requires the least amount of code change, and the least ugly code. -- Lennart Regebro: http://regebro.wordpress.com/ Porting to Python 3: http://python3porting.com/ _______________________________________________ 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
