Thanks to all who helped fixing tests in the str/unicode branch! We're down to about 35 failing tests. I still need help -- especially since we're now getting into territory that I don't know all that well, for example the email package or XML support. The list of unit tests that need help is still on the wiki: http://wiki.python.org/moin/Py3kStrUniTests Instructions on how to help and how to avoid duplicate work are also there. Please help! Thanks to all those who already fixed one or more tests! -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
