Incorrect. You are assuming that Python 3 input eval's the input like 
Python 2 does. That is wrong. All you show is that the one-character 
string "a" is not equal to the four-character string "u'a'", which is 
hardly a surprise. You wouldn't expect the string "3" to equal the string 
"int('3')" would you?
