Actually, Unicode handling is broken on Python 2, and works just fine on Python 3. I'm also a Russian user :)
Your code doesn't make any sense. Care to comment on what it means?
Guido didn't do us any favors with his migration strategy, but Python 3.4 is a substantially better and more modern language, so I would suggest developing on it (it's supported out of the box on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, for example). It's true that app platform providers have not caught up yet, though.

Yeah. I moved all code dealing with Unicode (in particular, parsing iTunes track names) to Python 3. That was the one part of the language that worked well for me- instead of utf8 codec hell, things just worked.
