> PEP: 349> Title: Generalised String Coercion...> Rationale> Python has had a Unicode string type for some time now but use of> it is not yet widespread. There is a large amount of Python code> that assumes that string data is represented as str instances.> The long term plan for Python is to phase out the str type and use> unicode for all string data.This PEP strikes me as premature, as putting the toy wagon before the horse, since it is premised on a major change to Python, possibly the most disruptive and controversial ever, being a done deal. However there is, as far as I could find no PEP on Making Strings be Unicode, let alone a discussed, debated, and finalized PEP on the subject.> Clearly, a smooth migration path must be provided.Of course. But the path depends on the detailed final target, which has not, as far as I know, has been finalized, and certainly not in the needed PEP. Your proposal might be part of the transition section of such a PEP or of a separate migration path PEP.Terry J. Reedy
