Eh? The 2.6 version would also be u('that'). That's the whole point of the idiom. You'll need a better counter argument than that. So the idea is to convert the existing 2.6 code to use parenthesis as well? (I obviously haven't read the PEP -- my apologies.) Well, if you didn't, you wouldn't have the same sources on 2.x and 3.x. And if that was ok, you wouldn't need the u() function in 3.x at all, since plain string literals are already unicode strings there.
True -- but I would rather have u'' in 2.6 and 3.3 than u('') in 2.6 and 3.3.
