But the PEP doesn't address the unicodeliterals plus str() approach. That is, the rationale currently makes a false claim. Which would be exactly what that u() does not do?

No.

  1. u() is trivial for Python 3 and relatively expensive (and doubtful for non-ascii literals) for Python 2, unicode_literals plus str() is trivial for Python 3 and cheap for Python 2.

  2. Text strings are natural and prevalent, but "natural" strings are domain-specific and archaic.
