That was the initial problem: codecs is specific to encodings (in Python3), encodes str to bytes, and decodes bytes (or any read buffer) to str. I don't like readbuffer_*encode* and *charbuffer_encode* function names, because there are different than other codecs: they encode *bytes* to bytes (and not str to bytes). I think that these functions should be removed or moved somewhere else under a different name. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8838> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
