   Hi Nicholas,

   Unfortunately, Python 2.x is very much dead by now and the libraries I am   
   planning to use don't support it. So that won't work. Thanks for confirming   
   my suspicions, though...   
      
   It would be really nice if Mystic could take the incoming strings (which, in   
   Python 3.x, are always UTF-8) and convert them to the correct codepage. Same   
   for handling input. That way, all the encoding mess would be taken care of   
   outside the plugins. Dreaming is still allowed, isn't it?   
      
   I haven't found any (current) source code for Mystic, so I can't fix it.   
      
   Best Regards,   
   Sebastian
