I'm sure Anthony will agree. Especially with the upcoming Py3000 there =
will
be many questions to answer regarding byte-strams, unicode-streams, =
characterset
conversion (implicit/explicit), character representation.

See the change history to see when Anthony started to focus on character =
set
conversion.

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc who also gives valueable input is probably also =
interested
in that topic while speeking and writing a language with many special =
characters.

Can you easily enhance the tests in the test directory to unit test the
