Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: I agree that adding a new module is very bad idea.
I think that the reviving the encoding parameter is a lest wrong way. json.dumps() should return bytes when the encoding argument is specifiead and str otherwise. json.dump() should write binary data when the encoding argument is specifiead and a text otherwise. This is not perfect design, but it has precendences in XML modules. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19837> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
