from future import unicodestrings Didn't we have a command-line option to do this? I believe it was removed because nobody could see the point. (Or am I hallucinating? After several days of non-stop discussing bytes that must be considered a possibility.) We do, and it's not been removed: the -U switch. It's not in the output of "python -h", though. Is it secret or what?

Yes.

We removed it from the help output to not confuse users who are not aware of the fact that this is an experimental switch.
