R. David Murray added the comment: Hmm. Let me rephrase that. *Internally* it doesn't support bytes payloads, it "encodes" bytes payloads as surrogateescaped ascii, as you have oserved. Which is why this is on the borderline, and could possibly be considered a bug fix, because from an external point of view it does support parsing and generating 8bit payloads.
I need to give it some thought, and perhaps others will weigh in with opinions. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16564> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
