Alas, not true.

>>> sys.version
'2.7.4 (default, Apr  6 2013, 19:54:46) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)]'
>>> sys.maxunicode
65535

['S', 't', 'r', 'a', '\xdf', 'e']

That's Windows XP. Presumably Latin-1 (or CP-1252, they both have that
char at 0xDF). He happens to be correct, *as long as the source code
encoding matches the output encoding and is one that uses 0xDF to mean
U+00DF*. Otherwise, he's not.
