> Not to mention the unicode implementation is broken.

Can you provide more details? The one thing that python3 did well is actually fixing the unicode/str mixup.

You posted some lines of code, but didn't tell exactly what's wrong with it.

> Python3 not operating on bytes by default is a mess

Why not just use the b'' prefix then and be explicit?

> can't move to Python3 due to how unicode is implemented

I'd like to see the bugs he raised against python 3 regarding this. There should be no difference in what you can and cannot do using python 2/3. I don't want to call BS on this, but... please provide some specific issues if you're claiming py3 is not usable.
