And of course, the part that's "solved" here is not the O(1) string indexing, but the fact that UTF-32 semantics with less memory usage than UTF-16. It's easy to get perfect indexing semantics if you don't mind how much space your strings take up. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
