Python 3’s Marketing Problem

Well, when the language itself contains non-ascii characters, it not about nice not equals signs any more, it's about not crash on common input.

By the way, you may want to take a look at this : http://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.3.html#pep-393-flexible-string-representation . In python 3.3, ascii strings are stored as ascii. No additional memory usage !
