New submission from Daniel Holth: When I discovered str(b'bytes') in my Python 3 program was causing errors to be serialized to disk, I was unhappy. It turns out there is a command line option to turn it off, but the vulnerable serialization code is not going to be able to set that argument; or the one-argument-per-shebang limit we have in Linux was already used for something else.
Instead, provide a threadlocal variable that causes str(bytes) to raise. A context manager makes it simple to use for just a portion of your code: with string.StrBytesRaises(): no_str_bytes_here() If not set or False then Python behaves as before. ---------- components: Unicode files: strbytes.patch keywords: patch messages: 266465 nosy: dholth, ezio.melotti, haypo priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: allow str(bytes) raises an exception to be controlled programmatically type: enhancement versions: Python 3.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file43024/strbytes.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27134> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
