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. -- <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/";>Eric S.
