Agreed with most of it except: "because their string API is correct" Apparently they have a bug in their UTF-7 parser that can lead to invalid unicode strings. Don't know if it's already fixed.

That would be an implementation flaw, not an API issue.

It was a bug in the decoding: it raised an unexpected exception, nothing that couldn't be worked around with a check (afaik it didn't crash the interpreter) and it has been fixed since more than 1 month, just 2 days after it was reported http://bugs.python.org/issue19279 http://bugs.python.org/issue19279 Let's avoid spreading fud, shall we? :)
