New submission from Jean-Michel Fauth <wxjmfa...@gmail.com>: Now, that the PEP 414 has been accepted, I can only strongly recommend to fix the problem of unicode literals as a partial workaround.
>>> print u'abcœé€' abcé >>> If these six characters are not rendered correctly, you shoud read: LATIN SMALL LETTER A LATIN SMALL LETTER B LATIN SMALL LETTER C LATIN SMALL LIGATURE OE LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE EURO SIGN It is not necessary to give here the list of the numerous libs that do not understand u'unicode literals' as shown above. (I wrote all my Py2 code in a u'unicode mode', and I know how hard it is to have to select between the u'' or unicode() variants. Face it. Python has never worked [*], Python does not work, Python will never work. More important, it is more than clear to me, there is no willingness to solve this issue. (The holy compatibilty with not working code). [*] Except the pure ASCII serie (Py 1.5) and the Python 3[0,1,2] serie. No offense. I'm pretty sure the creator of this PEP is not even able to type on his machine the list of the 42 characters supposed to be available it the typographies (plural) used by the different countries speaking French. The whole free/open source software disaster in all its splendor.
