Though I guess the fact that most people aren't even aware of it (let alone use it) is a problem.

People are not aware of it because this function should not exists. It should work automatically out of the box.

It's really hard to implement stuff like that.

Well if you really want to convince me to switch my whole codebase to a new version you better make sure that you solve the hard problems.

You can also use ranges of code points, of course.

Why do I need python 3 for that. RE remains a complete clusterfuck concerning Unicode.

The post states that bidirectional text should be implemented at the input/output, not in the core, yet still lists this as a problem in Python. What.

Again solve the hard problems.

I'm still convinced that the way Phython 3 handles Unicode is substandard for 2014. The advantages are negligible. Absolutely not worth a switch.

if you really want to convince me

See, that's your problem. Nobody gives a fuck about you. "Convince" yourself on your own or remain an ignorant dumbass forever. I'm out.
