Presumeably Python does something similar - either use widechar (but 
that would result in not being able to store all Unicode chars, as 
Unicode is more then 16bit) or utf-16. It could use 32-bit chars, but I 
don't think so.

But nonetheless, to write something out in Python - regardless of where 
you write it - you have to encode it in some 8bit string by either 
using utf-8 or some other means. You could pickle Unicode strings, but 
that would use some form of encoding, too - it would only make the 
whole stuff more insecure :-)

Of course we should stay with utf-8 (or the 8bit encodings for 
situations where those are sufficient). Everything else would be rather 
insane. And not be well supported in Python, anyway.
