They aren't byte-oriented underneath.It depends on whether use GetComputerNameA or GetComputerNameW whether you get bytes or Unicode. If bytes, they are converted as if by WideCharToMultiByte using CP_ACP, which in turn will introduce question marks and the like for unconvertable characters. ---------- title: socket, PEP 383: Mishandling of non-ASCII bytes in host/domain names -> socket, PEP 383: Mishandling of non-ASCII bytes in host/domain names _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9377> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
