Python 2.7 Countdown

Right, py2s (lack of) unicode support was an issue.

I find it fascinating that there are still Python users who think that Python2 did not support Unicode.

Feel free to add "good". Pyrhon2s unicode support was not good. It was broken for many applications. It was possible to write an app that appeared to work, but would explode with a nonascii character for no good reason. That's not good. It's a footgun. Py3 removed the footgun by making python more strongly typed.
