Hi
While working on the patch for the invalid unicode codepoints in the
junitxml output I discovered it's fairly hard to create a unicode
strings in the the test suite. Currently I decided to use
py.builtins._totext() to replace unicode string literals. And to get
access to the unichr() builtin I've done this little hack:
def foo():
global unichr
try:
unichr(65)
except NameError:
unichr = chr
I think both are fairly fine, though am surprised by the leading
underscore in _totext(), I'd have rather expected a
py.builtin.unicode() name or so. And if the unichr hack is acceptable
would it be worth to create py.builtins.unichr()?
