I'm don't know Windows very well, but I read many times that Windows uses unicode everywhere. I'm unable to decide if it's a good thing or not to support also bytes on Windows, and anyway I'm unable to write such patch. See also issue #4036 (bytes for subprocess.Popen), especially Martin's message msg74305 (Martin is our Windows expert ;-)). _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4035> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
