A lot of things about string handling changed between Python 2 and Python 3,
and the problems associated with this are one of the main reasons Python 2
is still a going concern.  For practical purposes, it's easiest to treat the two as
separate languages, rather than as two versions of the same language,
because most code is surprisingly difficult to transfer.
