I had misunderstood what the existing Python behaviour is. I now think the current behaviour (which uses "B.decode(system_encoding) == U") is definitely a bad idea, especially in cases where the system encoding is not US-ASCII, but I agree that it can't be changed for 2.5. -- David Hopwood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
