The sad part is, if you're accepting any text from external sources, you need to be able to deal with astral. I was doing a project a while ago importing 20-something million records into a MySQL database. Little did I know that FOUR of those records contained astral characters (which MySQL, at least the version I was using, couldn't handle). My way of dealing with those records was to nuke them. Longer term we ended up switching to Postgress. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
