Message 168567 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

I guess the analogy with bytes objects is that UCS-2 code points can be handled as 16-bit integer objects.

If we're going to do a programmatic deprecation now, that's the only alternative typecode currently available. Do we want to recommend that? Or do we want to postpone programmatic deprecation until we add a 2-byte code point type code for 3.4?
