What is internal representation of string in Python 3.x

by

The internal representation will change in Python 3.3 which implements PEP 393. The new representation will pick one or several of ascii, latin-1, utf-8, utf-16, utf-32, generally trying to get a compact representation.

Implicit conversions into surrogate pairs will only be done when talking to legacy APIs (those only exist on windows, where wchar_t is two bytes); the Python string will be preserved. Here are the release notes.
