[Python-Dev] Unicode: When Things Get Hairy

[Moshe Zadka]

The following "problem" is easy to fix. However, what I wanted to know is
if people (Skip and Guido most importantly) think it is a problem:

>>> "a" in u"bbba"
1
>>> u"a" in "bbba"
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: string member test needs char left operand

Suggested fix: in stringobject.c, explicitly allow a unicode char left
operand.
