My libraries are all supporting unicode on Python 2. And in fact, they do it better than on Python 3. File any unicode bugs you might encounter on Python 2 against me please.


This is true, and in fairness I've never had any problems with unicode using any of your libraries, probably because you take a lot of care in explicitly dealing with encoding.

But that's not always the case with other libraries like the csv module. The core unicode support in py3 means that a lot of librares which are not written with explicit unicode in mind Just Work with it in py3, and its a huge time saver.
