</div>Yep, that's the problem. Lots of theoretical problems noone has ever encountered<br>
brought up against a PEP which resolves some actual problems people encounter on<br>
a regular basis.</blockquote><div><br>How can you bring up practical problems against something that hasn't been implemented?<br><br>The fact that no other language or library does this is perhaps an indication that it isn't the right thing to do.<br>
<br>But the biggest problem with the proposal is that it isn't needed: if you want to be able to turn arbitrary byte sequences into unicode strings and back, just set your encoding to iso8859-15. That already works and it doesn't require any changes.<br>
