R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: We generally don't do type checking (see discussions of "duck typing"). We generally do just let the implementation detail bubble up. I don't think the encoding suggestion works, since we can't know what encoding the byte string is in, or even if it is a valid one.
I wonder if unquote should be polymorphic: accept both bytes and strings and produce the same type of output as its input. I think there are other urllib methods that are, but I haven't checked. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32498> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
