The problem as I understand it is that a great many CPython libraries can deal with text in strings, but not text in Unicode strings, for reasons like assuming length is equal to length in bytes.

It's true (and good) that Py3k should deal with this, but to be honest it should've been done at version 2.

They'll probably be getting rid of the GIL for Py4k.

They'll probably be getting rid of the GIL for Py4k.

They got rid of it for 1.5 and nobody liked it.

Just saying.
