I can't find the SO page I am looking for, but this is also an intesting one. Using the 'future' import may break code. But implicitly concatening byte/unicode strings is banned in python3 anyway. I am planning to checkout unicodenazi and ascii_with_complaints http://stackoverflow.com/questions/809796/any-gotchas-using-unicode-literals-in-python-2-6 _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
