Because I assumed that readers of the PEP would know (and I'm sure many of them do - this has been *really* discussed over and over again). > Under the set of constraints that Guido imposes, plus the requirement > that round-trip works for illegal encodings, there is no other solution > than PEP 383. Well, there actually is an alternative: expose byte-oriented interfaces in parallel with the string-oriented ones. In the rationale, the PEP explains why I consider this the worse choice.
