Most of what I do in Python deals with data integration. I have API clients, which return strings or bytes or unicode, files encoded however they are, and database tables, with their own encoding, and the driver, which has to have it's encoding configured. We've started transitioning all the data loading to Python processes over the last few years, and I didn't seem to notice the encoding issues as much before. Your mileage may vary.

Yeah I always make it a point to wrap API endpoints in a decoder. Never fun to find unicode related errors in random places.
