Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <amaur...@gmail.com> added the comment: The problem here is not the bytes object: it is correctly coerced to a string.
The problem is the binary stream, which cannot accept strings. We could maybe detect common errors and add a check at the beginning of the print() function? something like if isinstance(file, (BufferedWriter, RawIOBase)): raise ValueError("file should be a text stream") ---------- nosy: +amaury.forgeotdarc _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6304> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
