my experience with python3 unicode has been just the other way round - there are some minor troubles with python3 in regard to unicode too, but when doing anything user facing (starting with i18n/l10n) I'd take python3 without thinking twice. its 2015 and bugs like the unicode usernames problem in GTA V lately are just embarrassing for developers I'm not saying you can't do this with python2 but you have to pay attention to unicode all the time. this gets worse A LOT when trying to serve python 2 and 3 from the same codebase, something I wouldn't recommend at all if you want to do eg. application development. of course this is a bit frustrating if you learned to properly do unicode in python2 the hard way, but for new developers not having to worry about unicode issues really is a blessing
