Perl 5.16 and beyondPerl 5.16 and beyondPosted Mar 27, 2012 10:37 UTC (Tue) by man_ls (subscriber, #15091)In reply to: Perl 5.16 and beyond by kleptog Parent article: Perl 5.16 and beyond It looks like it would be a sane solution for the Python 2->3 transition mess. Not only string semantics, but to provide complete compatibility for Python 2 modules in Python 3 programs. It would be a nice way forward.

I don't see how this would help bridge the Python 2 <-> 3 boundary within a single program.
The real issue with doing that is the fundamental string type change; you can't magically pass data across such an interface boundary without deciding which way the types convert. Python is so dynamic that in most situations there is no definition carried around of where something came from such that a boundary crossing could be determined and enforced.
