My expectation is that yours is the common experience.  However, in at
least one current thread (on python-ideas) and at a variety of times
in the past, _some_ people have found Unicode in Python 3 to make more
work.  So that got me to thinking about who's experience is the
general case, and if any concerns broadly apply to more that
framework/library writers (like django, jinja, twisted, etc.).  Having
usage statistics would be helpful in identifying the impact of things
like Unicode in Python 3.
