Strings should be byte strings. Not ASCII, not Unicode. Bytes. Strings don't represent Text lest I decide they do. For this a UnicodeString object should exist, and it should _not_ be the default. In my latest project I've made myself use Python 3.4 over 2.7, for its new great features. So many steps forward, except this one thing. What a stupid decision are these default Unicode strings...
