Raymond Hettinger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: I don't think this is the right thing to do. The hash algorithms are defined in terms of bytes, but Unicode is an abstracted from a byte level encoding. It doesn't make sense to convert using an arbitrary encoding (such as UTF-8) because someone else might hash the same text using a different encoding.
