The internal encoding/representation of a "string" of Unicode characters 
is considered an implementation detail and is in fact not always the same 
(e.g. a cpython build parameter selects UCS2 or UCS4, and it might be 
something else in other implementations).

See the 'Py_UNICODE' paragraph in:
<http://docs.python.org/api/unicodeObjects.html>
