New submission from STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com>: The following 4 functions are public but not documented and not used in Python3: - PyUnicode_AsDecodedObject(), PyUnicode_AsEncodedObject() - PyUnicode_AsDecodedUnicode(), PyUnicode_AsEncodedUnicode()
In Python2, PyUnicode_AsDecodedObject() was used by unicode.decode() method, but Python3 has no more str.decode() method (see the recent discussion on python-dev mailing list about .transform() / .untransform()). In Python2, unicode.encode() uses PyUnicode_AsEncodedObject(), but in Python3 str.encode() uses PyUnicode_AsEncodedString() which ensures that the result type is bytes. PyUnicode_AsDecodedUnicode() and PyUnicode_AsEncodedUnicode() were added by Marc-Andre Lemburg in r63986. These functions may be used for .transform() / .untranform() proposition, but this proposition is not yet accepted and the functions are now unused. If you decide to keep one of these functions, the function have to be documented. ---------- components: Unicode files: remove_unicode_codec.patch keywords: patch messages: 108565 nosy: haypo, lemburg priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Remove PyUnicode_AsDecodedObject/Unicode and PyUnicode_AsEncodedObject/Unicode? versions: Python 3.2 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file17763/remove_unicode_codec.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9076> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
