And who would have guessed that the wishes of three random Welshian University lectures would become a microcosm into the future problems afflicting internationalization and localization of computer software. And perhaps one day there will be fantastical fables written about the "Three Wise Welshian Lecturers", who traveled across endless expanses of earth and sea, following at times strange lights in the sky, and bearing gifts of "me, myself, and i" upon the new king of encodings. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
