> Well, one problem is that it messes up character counts. Well, I know it does. That's why py3k is inherently better than 2.x's bytestrings-by-default behaviour. There's a reason we don't try to backport py3k's unicode goodness to 2.x, and that's it would be terribly messy to do so while retaining some measure of backwards compatibility.
(By the way, I would mention that relying on locale to get number formatting right regardless of the actual user is optimistic, borderline foolish ;-)) cheers Antoine. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
