STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com> added the comment: Ok, here is a first version of my patch to implement os.environb: - os.environb is the bytes version of os.environ, both are synchronized - os.environ(b).data stores bytes keys and values on POSIX (but unicode on Windows) - create os.getenvb()->bytes - os.environb and os.getenvb() are not available on Windows nor OS/2 - os.environ(b) et os.getenv(b)() accept both byte and unicode keys: that's maybe a stupid idea, I don't know yet :-) - fix #8513: subprocess: support bytes program name on POSIX - create os.fsencode() and os.fsdecode()
The patch is not done (the documentation should be updated), but it's a new step to help the discussion. I didn't tried it on Windows. I already try twice to write os.environb some months ago, but I failed (it was too complex for me). os.environ and os.environb now share the same "data" dictionary, and their methods converts inputs and outputs if necessary. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file17154/issue8514.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8514> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
