Only 2.6 should be marked. This is a feature request for an implicit conversion with a default encoding; it is not a bugfix. FWIW, here's a reference to an earlier discussion: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2004-April/258630.html Also, it is unpersuasive that md5() works with u'john'. That is just an artifact of the 2.x series. In 3.0, there is a more clear distinction between bytes and text. Recommending that this be rejected and closed. Without a universally accepted (not just with Python) implicit coding, there's no way to check MD5 checksums match for the same unicode text.
