Er, it depends on what you consider "usable".

Unicode integration turned out to have a lot messier edge cases than
anyone understood going in.  First-cut support was in 1.6, but I'd say
it still has some pretty sharp edges *today*.  Which is why 3.0 has
gone all-Unicode-all-the-time.  The problems mostly come from having
two different notions of "string" that don't really mix well.

Me, I still avoid the hell out of Unicode in Python.  And occasionally
fund myself cursing a library maintainer who didn't.
