The `unicode' class was renamed to `str', and a stripped-down version of the 2.X `str' class was renamed to `bytes'.
... thank you, this is very helpful.

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, m harris -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
