I think you have to ask another question: Is repr() allowed to return a string (instead of Unicode) in Py3k ? If not, then unicode_repr() will have to check the return value of the codec and convert it back to Unicode as necessary. > I started to think codec is not nessesary, but python function is enough. That's what we currently have with unicode_repr(), but it doesn't solve the problem.

Sure, why not ?

I think you have to ask another question: Is repr() allowed to
return a string (instead of Unicode) in Py3k ?

If not, then unicode_repr() will have to check the return value of
the codec and convert it back to Unicode as necessary.

That's what we currently have with unicode_repr(), but it doesn't
solve the problem.
