[issue12729] Python lib re cannot handle Unicode properly due to narrow/wide bug

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

This is off-topic, but there was discussion on whether or not to have a 2.7. The decision was to focus on back-porting things that would make the eventual transition to 3.x easier.
