New submission from Ram Rachum <r...@rachum.com>:
I was working with the csv module, and I vaguely remembered that you should
open files in binary mode. So I did.
Then I saw this error message:
_csv.Error: iterator should return strings, not bytes (did you open the
file in text mode?)
I read the end and thought "I didn't open it in text mode, what does it want
from me?!" It took a careful reading to figure out that I was *supposed to*
open it in text mode.
I'm going to open a PR to slightly change the text to:
_csv.Error: iterator should return strings, not bytes (the file should be
opened in text mode)
