According to that bug report, it looks like CPython doesn't comopletely handle unicode Exception messages even in py3? Is that really the case? And from this thread, I'd say that it's unlikely anyone want to chance this in py2, but I don't know that making py3 better is this regard is off the table.

Making changes and improvements to Python 3 is totally an option. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/attachments/20131115/784170a4/attachment.html>
