Python being 8-bit clean, it is less a problem with it than with languages much relying on NUL terminated C strings. I hope that Python will stick to its current UTF-8 behaviour, even if C extension writers were applying some pressure for a change.

Python won't change its story here. (We will get to the bottom of Barry's bug, which had nothing to do with this issue.)
