Message 106273 - Python tracker
@benjamin.peterson: Do you plan to port r75928 to 2.7 and 3.1? If not, can you close this issue? I think that this issue priority is minor because few people write directly non-BMP characters in Python files (maybe only one, Ezio Melotti :-)). u"\uxxxx", u"\Uxxxxxxxx" or unichr(xxx) can be used in Python 2.7 and 3.1 (without u prefix for 3.1).
