This means that Python 3.3 will no longer have surrogate pairs.Am I right?
As Terry said, basically, yes. Python 3.3 does not need in surrogate pairs, but does not prevent their creation. You can create a surrogate code (U+D800..U+DFFF) intentionally (as you can create a single accent modifier or other senseless alone charcode), but less likely that you will get them unintentionally.
