Python 2.7 + cp1252:
- Solid and coherent system (nothing to do with the Euro).

Python 3:
- It missed the unicode shift.
- Covering the whole unicode range will not make
Python a unicode compliant product.
- Flexible String Representation (a problem per se),
a mathematical absurditiy which does the opposite of
the coding schemes endorsed by Unicord.org (sheet of
paper and pencil!)
- Very deeply buggy (quadrature of the circle problem).

Positive side:
- A very nice tool to teach the coding of characters
and unicode.
