In my opinion we should unfortunately close this with WONTFIX because:
* adding a feature in a point release is not an option
* this may be poorly documented but most of the standard library in 2.x assumes bytestrings (and fails with Unicode strings). Same goes for instance for csv.
* storing encoded data internally enables for direct reading and writing to compatible files
* having Unicode instead requires the possibility to specify an `encoding` parameter to read* and write* methods. I added this parameter in 3.2 exactly for this reason.
So, unless I missed something obvious and there's more discussion, I am closing this issue next week. |
