Lukas Lueg <knabberknusperh...@yahoo.de> added the comment: The current behaviour may help the majority by ignorance and cause weird errors for others. We tell people that Python distincts between Text and Data but actually treat it all the same by implicit encoding.
Modules that only operate on Bytes should reject Unicode-objects in Python3; it's a matter of 3 lines to display a warning in Python 2. Those modules that usually operate on Text but have single functions that operate on Bytes should display a warning but not enforce explicit encoding. Also see #4821 and #4818 where unicode already got rejected by the openssl-driven classes but silently accepted by the build-in ones. _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4757> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
