The following deferred PEP seems to have become obsolete due to time/Python marching on:
PEP 349 - Allow str() to return unicode strings https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0349/
As there is now not non-unicode strings anymore (unless I am misunderstanding the PEP).
What should the state of this PEP be updated to?

Hi,
Since Python 3 "str" type already means Unicode, I understand that Python 3 made this PEP outdated. Since Python 2 reached it's end of life, it seems perfectly safe to reject this PEP now.

The PEP is now rejected:
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0349/
https://github.com/python/peps/commit/fb14d5d81f62f43e7bc78f52f1941cd36e32fd...
Thanks Neil Schemenauer for the interesting PEP ;-) The good news is that Python 3 basically implements the PEP!
