It depends on what you mean by "compatible"; e.g. you can't safely do

why would you want to decode strings given to you by a library that returns decoded strings?
if you meant to write "encode", you can indeed safely do [s.encode('utf8') for s in strings] as long as all strings are returned by an ET implementation.
