To my knowledge, it is completely implemented. You may mention that
--disable-unicode is now also supported.

There is atleast one error in the PEP, namely that the define for wide
Unicode Py_UNICODE_WIDE (Py_UNICODE_SIZE also exists, but isn't used
except to define Py_UNICODE_WIDE).

I'm also not sure certain the all codecs handle all surrogate cases
correctly in all circumstances, but that is in the realm of bug
reports.

One further Unicode change: The bullet item "When presented with a
Unicode filename on Windows ..." should be extended with "On Unix, the
locale's character set is used if nl_langinfo(CODESET) is available."

Two new builtins are missing in your text, OverflowWarning and super.

HTH,
Martin
