Either utf-8 encoded strings or unicode objects (u"Hello World"). Both
should work.  I'd suggest unicode objects.

The big switch in version 2.0 was to move to 'unicode throughout'.
Otherwise, operations like split() performed on any
multi-bytes-per-character encoding (Asian text or UTF8) can cuse
corruption.
