Guido (and others of course), back in 2001 you pointed out that you wanted to move to UCS4 completely as the ideal situation (http://mail.python.org/pipermail/i18n-sig/2001-June/001107.html) over the current default UCS2. Given 3.0 will use Unicode strings as the default, would it also not make sense to make the switch at this point as well? The current situation with UCS2 is particularly bad now that the CJK ideographs Extension B. has been produced (and C is under ballot and D is under development). Personally I use nothing else but UCS4 compiled Python binaries for the past years. See also http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0261/ for background for the 2001 options. -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven <asmodai(-at-)in-nomine.org> / asmodai イェルーン ラウフロック ヴァン デル ウェルヴェン http://www.in-nomine.org/ | http://www.rangaku.org/ | GPG: 2EAC625B Expansion of happiness is the purpose of life...
