Unicode strings is not wrong but the technical emphasis on Unicode is as strange as a "tire car" or "rectangular door" when "car" and "door" are what you usually mean.
The reason Unicode gets emphasised so much is that until relatively recently, it *wasn't* what "string" usually meant in Python. When Python 3 has been around for as long as Python 2 was, things may change. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
