No, I think he is saying that he doesn't know Unicode anywhere near as
well as he thinks he does. The question is, will he cherish his
ignorance, or learn from this thread?
I assure you that I fully understand my ignorance of unicode. Until recently I
didn't even know that the unicode in python 2.x is considered broken and that
str in python 3.x is considered 'better'.
I can say that having made a lot of reportlab work in both 2.7 & 3.3 I don't
understand why the latter seems slower especially since we try to convert early
to unicode/str as a desirable internal form. Probably I have some horrible error
going on(eg one of the C extensions is working in 2.7 and not in 3.3).
