New submission from Devin Jeanpierre: Maybe the functions should be split up into those you shouldn't need to call directly, and those you should? I find it unlikely that you're supposed to use codecs.encode(..., 'hex') and codecs.decode(..., 'hex') instead of binascii (the only other thing, AFAIK, that works in both 2 and 3).
Relevant quote starts with: "Normally, you will not use these functions directly" https://docs.python.org/2/library/binascii https://docs.python.org/3/library/binascii ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 242737 nosy: Devin Jeanpierre, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Docs discourage use of binascii.unhexlify etc. versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24144> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
