Or some other implementation of Python. It's looking like micropython
will be permanently supporting a non-Unicode build (although I stepped
away from the project after a strong disagreement over what would and
would not make sense, and haven't been following it since). If someone
wants a Python that doesn't have stuff that the core CPython devs
treat as essential, s/he probably wants something like uPy anyway.
