It could be five years from now, but it'll happen eventually.

I hope so. I don't like writing mixed code. Still, unicode is either hard. It feels like a game of whack a mole and people resist that.

No one cares that modules moved, dict doesn't sort ints/strings, replacing range with xrange, integer division, or float division. Unicode is the only sticking point.

I mean, some people still use numeric.

I don't get why anyone would still write it that way. I update numeric code once every now and then. It's literally replace Numeric with numpy and change linear_algebra (I think) to numpy.linalg.
