The patch implements PEP 349: "Allow str() to return unicode strings". The backwards compatibility problems appear to be rare. Hopefully more people can test their applications. I'm not very happy with the new function named PyString_New since it really belongs in Python/object.c, not stringobject.c. However, I can't think of a better name. I think it should be made available to extension modules somehow so _PyObject_Str is no good. |

The PEP has been deferred and the patch is out of date. So, is this change still wanted? |

I still think it would make things easier for people using Unicode with Python 2.x. However, there does not seem to be much community interest in the change. Neil |

Maybe something useful for 2.7? |

PEP 349 was rejected because it breaks backward compatibility, eg. it breaks the assomption that str(u"x") converts unicode to byte string. Python3 is the only good fix for all byte/character Python2 issues. |
