edge. This is where Python 3
This is not true, see above.
What I mean is that you cannot leave it to the application. Once a "str"
type is returned is has to be assumed that it contains unicode data. "str"
classes do not have a decode method or is there a way to decode the data
hold by a "str" object assuming that is encoded and not unicode?
No objections here? I am not an expert to be without doubts on what I
said myself. So please tell me if I am wrong.
