I'm not really arguing with you, just giving a slightly difference of emphasis... I don't think that failure to support the SMPs is a deal-breaker. Obviously, if you specifically need some subset of Unicode in the SMPs, say Phoenician, then it may be, but I'm just talking about general use. Given the generally poor support for non-ASCII characters many applications provide, any Unicode support is better than none. -- Steve -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
