Martin Panter added the comment: Type checking on the URL should be reasonably straightforward.
For the request data, the question is what types do we currently support? This may be a can of worms. We would have to be careful not to break existing use cases, even undocumented ones. Looking at Issue 23740, the underlying “http.client” accepts a variety of data types (bytes, Latin-1 str, iterables, files), and this support varies depending if the Content-Length header is supplied. I don’t think all combinations work with urlopen(), but judging by Issue 5038, there is at least partial support for bytes-like, iterables, and file objects. ---------- nosy: +martin.panter _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25439> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
