Ok, but the reason would be that the WSGI spec is broken. Not Python 3 itself. Agreed. Neither python2 nor python3 is broken. It's the wsgi spec and the implementation of that spec where things fall down. From your first post, I thought you were claiming that python3 was broken since web frameworks got decoding right on python2 and I just wanted to defend python3 by showing that python2 wasn't all sunshine and roses.
