Which, frankly, should be everyone. You can't get away with assuming
that a character is a byte any more; even if you stick to the US,
you're going to run into some non-ASCII symbols sooner or later. Of
course, you can work with UTF-8, which means that anything that fits
into 7-bit ASCII will be represented as itself; but you still need to
be aware of the difference between 'bytes' and 'str' (or between 'str'
and 'unicode').
