str/unicode Unification
-----------------------
Python 3's :func:`str` (``PyString_*`` functions in C) type is equivalent to
Python 2's :func:`unicode` (``PyUnicode_*``). The old 8-bit string type has
become :func:`bytes`. Python 2.6 and later provide a compatibility header,
Python 3's :func:`str` type is equivalent to Python 2's :func:`unicode`; the C
functions are called ``PyUnicode_*`` for both. The old 8-bit string type has become
:func:`bytes`, with C functions called ``PyBytes_*``. Python 2.6 and later provide a compatibility header,
:file:`bytesobject.h`, mapping ``PyBytes`` names to ``PyString`` ones. For best
compatibility with Python 3, :c:type:`PyUnicode` should be used for textual data and
:c:type:`PyBytes` for binary data. It's also important to remember that
