   Ian, Benjamin,  thanks much.

The `unicode' class was renamed to `str', and a stripped-down version

You mean 0x7F, and probably, due to the need to explicitly encode and decode.

Yes, actually, I did... and from Benjamin's reply it seems that this matters only if I am working with bytes. Is it true that if I am working without using bytes sequences that I will not need to care about the encoding anyway, unless of course I need to specify a unicode code point?

    Thanks again.

kind regards,
