Not at all. I'm afraid I'm understanding Python (on this
aspect very well).

Do you belong to this group of people who are naively
writing wrong Python code (usually not properly working)
during more than a decade?

'ß' is the the fourth character in that text "Straße"
(base index 0).

This assertions are correct (byte string and unicode).

>>> sys.version
'2.7.6 (default, Nov 10 2013, 19:24:18) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)]'
>>> assert 'Straße'[4] == 'ß'
>>> assert u'Straße'[4] == u'ß'
>>>
