Claude Paroz added the comment: I may understand your reasoning when you cannot make any assumptions about the encoding of a series of bytes.
I think that the case of PATH_INFO is different, because it should comply with standards, and then you *can* make the assumption that the original path is 'utf-8'-encoded. So either leave the string undecoded, or decode it to what the standards say. It would put un unneccessary burden on WSGI apps to always require to encode-redecode this string. Wouldn't it be possible to amend PEP 3333? Hopefully we can get some other opinions about this issue. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16679> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
