Ezio Melotti added the comment: We discussed this on IRC, and apparently the seemingly valid result I got on 3.2 was because I had a narrow build. On a wide 3.2 build I get: >>> str(array('u', b'asdf')) "array('u', '\\U66647361')"
Since 3.3+ behaves like a wide build and since \U66647361 is not valid, I now agree that raising an error is the right thing to do. If possible, even 3.2 should raise an error, rather than returning an invalid codepoint. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17223> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
