"With python 3 we are at a stage where python programs can support 
unicode well however python program- source is still completely ASCII."

In Python 3, "Python reads program text as Unicode code points; the 
encoding of a source file can be given by an encoding declaration and 
defaults to UTF-8". Why start off with an erroneous statement, which you 
even know and show is erroneous?
