Jim, I was imagining storing them (because who doesn't love AST introspection?) but with them poisoned somehow. But looking at the code that'd mean overriding every single method in PyUnicode and that just seems a hellish amount of work.

In case it was unclear, my point about Python 3 compatibility is that lone surrogates have to work everywhere — it may well be the case that being able to convert (Py3) str objects into (Java) String objects is beneficial in many cases, but everything will have to support the case where they can't be converted. (Well, I imagine some of the Jython APIs will require no lone surrogates, but that's rather out of the scope of what the Python code can observe).
