I've been using Python 3.x since Python 3.1 came out, and I haven't come across any meaningful problems with the everyday dealing with strings. Quite the opposite -- I never quite understood the difference between text strings and byte strings until I started using Python 3. Perhaps you would care to explain what these everyday problems are that you have seen? -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
