How is len() getting these values? And I am sure it will turn out not
to be a coincidence that 2 * (6 + 1) = 14 and 4 * (6 + 1) = 28. Hmm

By asking the objects themselves to report their length. You are
creating different objects with different content::
>>> s = 'Hello!'
>>> s_utf8 = s.encode("UTF-8")
>>> s == s_utf8
False
>>> s_utf16 = s.encode("UTF-16")
py3: s = 'Hello!'
py3: len(s.encode("UTF-8"))
6
py3: len(s.encode("UTF-16"))
14
py3: len(s.encode("UTF-32"))
28

Because third-party Setuptools is required for entry points, which means
entry points cannot be a default choice.
It may well be a good choice for many cases. But that's a di
I feel like I have gazed into a crystal clear pool, apparently

floor. Interested in these beautiful things, I jump in to grab one

A newcomer is in a tough position when it comes to packaging and
