Wrong. It will be 2 bytes, just like it already is in Python 3.2. I don't know where people are getting this myth that PEP 393 uses Latin-1 internally, it does not. Read the PEP, it explicitly states that 1-byte formats are only used for ASCII strings. > Adding "€", it will still be stored as 2 bytes/codepoint.
