Bear in mind that in Python, ASCII currently means ASCII, values
0..127. Type "str" will accept values > 127. However, the default
conversion from "str" to "unicode" requires true ASCII values, in
0..127.

Hi Fredrik,
Thanks again for your feedback. I am much obliged.
Indeed, I am forced to be exteremely rigorous about decoding on the way in
and encoding on the way out everywhere in my program, just as you say. Your
advice is excellent and concurs with other sources of unicode expertise.

Hi Fredrik, thanks for responding. After reading up some more on this, I
think my title should be changed to "How to get Python to default to ASCII".
In point of fact, I want my 2 environments to agree so that I can debug
thinkgs more easily. Right now it's a nightmare.
