[Python-Dev] Conversion of a standard unicode string to a bit string in Python

[David Mertz]

This list is for discussion of development of the Python core language and
standard libraries, not for development *using* Python.  It sounds like you
should probably do your homework problem on your own, actually, but if you
seek advice, something like StackOverflow or python-list are likely to be
more appropriate.

Keeping medicines from the bloodstreams of the sick; food
from the bellies of the hungry; books from the hands of the
uneducated; technology from the underdeveloped; and putting
advocates of freedom in prisons.  Intellectual property is
to the 21st century what the slave trade was to the 16th.
