PEP for removal of string module?
As I was writing the Summary, I noticed that the discussion of how to handle the removal of the string module got a little complicated thanks to how to deal with stuff that is different between str and unicode. There was no explicit (i.e., patch) resolution to the whole thing. Does this warrant a PEP to work out the details? Now I am not explicitly volunteering to write one since I am no Unicode or locale expert and that seems to be the sticking point. But if one is needed and no one steps forward I guess I could (will have to wait until after generator expressions get implemented, though, since I am already committed to working on that). -Brett

IMO, no. I'm personally not convinced that the removal of the string module is desirable. I doubt a PEP could change this attitude. Regards, Martin
