What are you on about?  The comment has been made that "its quite plain 
to me that 3.x python has a problem with everyday dealing with strings". 
  Myself, Terry Reedy and Steven D'Aprano have all commented on this, 
asking for more data.  We've been given nothing, which is precisely what 
our resident unicode expert has given us.
