Note that using __future__ you can write code that will run correctly on both 2.6+ and 3.0. For new projects that's what I would recommend

I have some Python code that works Extension Plane B CJK characters that aren't correctly handled by Python even as UTF-8... if Python 3 can recognize them and work with them cleanly, I shall be happy.
But I will check out __future__. Portability would still be nice. I'm guess though it is far from effortless.
