Oh, subprocess doesn't support passing bytes arguments to a program anymore (since Python 3.0). http://bugs.python.org/issue4036#msg100376 So it's better to use TESTFN_NONASCII instead for this test ;-) It confirms that we need two constants depending on the context. It dependson the platform and how the data is read/written: sometimes undecodable characters are supported on any platform (ex: base64 encoder), sometimes undecodable characters are not supported (ex: distutils expects valid metadata), sometimes it depends on the platform (ex: this test). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16444> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
