However, in 2.6, you could write | that as | | if type(s) is bytes: s = unicode(s, 'utf-8') | | as bytes is str in 2.6. If you want to support even older | versions, do | | try: | bytes | except NameError: | bytes = str | | somewhere, then write the code as I proposed above.
This is exactly the sort of thing that should be and I expect will be in the conversion docs.
