We could add aliases, but I think it's not such a big deal. I'm convinced that the largest barrier to adoption has been that it can't be used with the stdlib. And I think the discussion on Python-ideas supports that. That, and py2 compatibility. There is a back port on PyPi, but it can't be used with the stdlib, either. Not sure what to do about that--maybe it should inherit from Unicode? -CHB > That is one of the things I really dislike. If the behaviour is the same as the os version, it should have the same name.
