Bill Janssen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: For Antoine:
I think the problem that Barry is facing with the email package is that Unicode strings are an ambiguous representation of a sequence of bytes; that is, there are a number of different byte sequences a Unicode string may have come from. His ingenious use of raw-unicode-escape is an attempt to conform to the requirement of having to produce a string, but without losing any data, so that an application program can, if it needs to, still reprocess that string and retrieve the original data. Naive application programs that sort of expected the result to be an ASCII string will be unaffected. Not sure it's the best idea; this is all about just where to force unexpected runtime failures. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3300> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
