Hmm, who ever said that we are going to drop the current 8-bit string implementation ?
I expect that in Python 3.0 aka Python 3000 we'll have only Unicode strings and byte arrays, so yes, the current 8-bit string implementation will eventually die. Jython and IronPython are ahead of us in this respect...
Ok, so I suppose that we can learn from Jython and IronPython in this respect...
How do they handle binary data and the interfacing between various I/O facilities, e.g. files, sockets, pipes, user input, etc.
