It doesn't? I've ran into UnicodeDecodeError exceptions literally every time I've had to deal with external input in Python 2. It was a nightmare, and it made me hate Python.

With Python 3, that simply has never happened to me. Never.

I don't know why. I don't know what the change, what the secret sauce was. And what's even better: I don't have to care. Python now simply works for me.

So yes, Python did remove Unicode issues.
