Martin Panter added the comment: See also Issue 27273, proposing to use text string input as an indicator to turn on universal_newlines=True in the higher-level functions. I’m not excited by either proposal, but I find the other one a bit more palatable.
IMO allowing text string input to communicate(), but returning byte string outputs would be a bad idea. It would have been better to call the universal_newlines=... flag “text_mode”. ---------- nosy: +martin.panter _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15649> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
