Reasons: - most strings in pyc files are pure ASCII (it's like 99% in the stdlib) - unmarshalling ASCII strings is faster: you can pass 127 to PyUnicode_New without scanning for non-ASCII chars The aim here is to optimize the common cases. There is no reason to further complicate the code for rare cases. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19219> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
