b''.format() would return bytes, not a string. This is also how it works in 2.6. I'm also not sold on implementing it, although it would be easy and I can see a few uses for it. I think Martin's suggesting of encoding back to ascii might be the best thing to do (that is, don't implement b''.format()). _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3982> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
