From what I can tell, __str__ may return a Unicode object, but only if can be converted to an 8-bit string using the default encoding. Is this on purpose or by accident? Do we have a plan for improving the situation in future 2.X releases ?
It has worked that way since at Python least 2.4 (I just tried returning unicode from __str__ in 2.4.1 and it worked fine). That's the oldest version I have handy, so I don't know if it was possible in earlier versions.
I don't have anything older than 2.4 laying around either, but IIRC in 2.3 unicode() did not call __unicode__(). - -Barry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iQCVAwUBRXbBIHEjvBPtnXfVAQJC6AQAhPDrd451PYhQHTuFZqFX7oJpuadEONxb UaBEpWs6yzJjLAxC2tfRVT8vOc1bTmF3Wzf1y5HZsXcbklOFm3USl0YJ8206oDBN 2MGGf2e/JuC5oajo5RJqQ/oqaLDSHb8cD6GP2y/+FFaAhwDnlgnOlV0TxAggKv4K a9nCnFRwJ8c= =+mj8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
