Not necessary.
__future__ statements are guaranteed to "work" in all future versions, in
the sense that once a __future__ feature is added, it will never be
removed. So Python has had "nested scopes" since version 2.2 (by memory),
but:
from __future__ import nested_scopes
still is allowed in Python 3.3, even though it has been a no-op since 2.2
or 2.3.

Apart from being hideously ugly to read, I do not believe this code works
the way you think it works. Adding to the loop variable doesn't advance
the loop. Try this and see for yourself:
for i in range(10):
print(i)
i += 5
The loop variable just gets reset once it reaches the top of the loop
again.

Nevertheless, in mathematics at least, it is normal to leave out the
radian sign when talking about angles. By default, "1.2" means "1.2
radians", not "1.2 degrees".

In Python, we often use plain string operations instead of regex-based
solutions for basic tasks. Regexes are a 10lb sledge hammer. Don't use
them for cracking peanuts.

Can you see why the last one works? The word you are looking for is
"slicing", and you can test it like this:
print( [100, 200, 300, 400, 500][1:] )
print( [100, 200, 300, 400, 500][2:4] )
print( [100, 200, 300, 400, 500][2:5] )

Funny, that looks different.
py> unicodedata.name(buffer[5])
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
ValueError: no such name
No name?
Because buffer[5] is only *half* of the surrogate pair. It is broken, and
there is really no way of fixing that breakage in Python 3.2 with a
narrow build. You can fix it with a wide build, but only at the cost of
every string, every name, using double the amount of storage, whether it
needs it or not.

You have been using Flexible Integer Representation for *years*, and it
works great, and you've never noticed any pro
from the internal
logic. But, my guess is that for anything non-trivial, you probably
should have one main module handling the UI, and a second (and possibly
more) modules handling the implementation, plus at least one other module
for testing.

he original
poster did, and then decode those bytes to a string, you will get what
you expect. Using Python 2.5, where the b prefix is not needed:
py> tasty = 'Jalape\xc3\xb1o' # actually bytes
py> tasty.decode('utf-8')
u'Jalape\xf1o'
py> print tasty.decode('utf-8') # oops I forgot to reset my terminal
JalapeУБo
py> print tasty.decode('utf-8') # terminal now set to UTF-8

Hope this helps.
[1] Assume the font file is 100K in size, and it has glyphs for 256
characters. That works out to 195 bytes per glyph.
[2] Technically, the UTF-8 scheme can handle 31-bit code points, up to
the (hypothetical) code point U+7FFF, using up to six bytes per code
point. But Unicode officially will never go past U+10, and so UTF-8
also will never go past four bytes per code point.
