But why would the utf8 decoder accept unicode as input?

A Py3k warning when attempting to decode a unicode string? Wouldn't
that open the door to adding warnings to everywhere a unicode string
is used where a byte string is? I thought that
That depends a bit on how much code we find that breaks as a result.
If you find you have to do a big cleanup in the stdlib after that
change, it's likely that 3rd party code could have the same problem,
and I'd be reluctant. I'd be okay with adding a warning in that case.
OTOH if there's no cleanu

How do we go for fixing it? Is it ok to raise a TypeError in 3.0.1?

Sounds like yet another remnant of the old philosophy, which indeed
supported encode and decode operations on both string types. :-(
