> The transition to python 3 is more more a matter about a migration execution rather than a technical aspect related to strings (which I don’t find that terrible, especially given all facilities provided to make the migration easier to the new incompatible runtime). That's political talk. In practice I never have seen a python library that do not blow up when migrated in Python 3 with a Unicode related error, because one of the dev was using python2 string as binary vector.
