"How Python does Unicode: Poorly."
2 comments

Python 2 maybe. Python 3 does Unicode wonderfully well; I miss it whenever I'm working with other languages.
All Python 3 did was put a hard barrier between bytes and strings. That's it.

Mising is all the grapheme handling that languages that do Unicode strings right have.

I'd be curious to hear why you think that.
