I think you really need to check what the applications are in detail. UTF-8 costs about 35% more storage for Japanese, and even more for Chinese, than does UTF-16. So if you might be using a lot of Asian localized strings, it might even be worth implementing PEP-393 to get the best of both worlds for most strings. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
