Neither do I, but it doesn't really matter. In my case the string is definitely text (although it will always be ascii) and therefore unicode is the right representation to use in 3.x. I just wondered whether there was a recommended idiom for using maketrans() on text in 2.7 that 2to3 would translate into str.maketrans(), but it seems not. Instead the solution seems to be to convert to unicode and use its translation method instead. I've since adopted a different solution, but I'll keep this in mind for the future.
