The original question was regarding storage - how PEP 393 says that strings will be encoded in memory in any of three ways (Latin-1, UCS-2/UTF-16, or UCS-4/UTF-32). But even in our world, that is not what a string *is*, but only what it is made of. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
