New submission from Mark Summerfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I know it is almost certainly too late, but I think a lot of people will be confused by str.decode() and bytes.encode() (or was that the other way around)?
Calling the methods str.tobytes() and bytes.tostr() (or nicer, str.to_bytes() and bytes.to_str()) would be hard to confuse and IMO will lead to fewer bug reports and complaints once Python 3.0 final comes out. And there is a kind of precedent in that threading.isDaemon() became threading.is_daemon() between 30a5 and 30b1. ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 69047 nosy: mark severity: normal status: open title: str.tobytes() and bytes/bytearray.tostr() type: feature request versions: Python 3.0 _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3252> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
