[Python-Dev] Python 3000: confused about str8, str, bytes

I maintain the sqlite module in the standard library, which makes heavy use
of PyString_* C API. Now I've made it work under Python 3000 insofar as
tests pass, but the new Python string semantics mean I have more work to do
here and make some API choices.

I've read in another thread that the future of str8 is not decided yet. To
be honest I was confused when I saw it first, it's documented nowhere as
far as I can see.

Is that decided yet? Is str8 going away?

What will happen with the Python C API? Will PyString_* become what
PyUnicode_* is in Python 2.x?
