Hello Is this the intended behavior?
Python 3.0a4+ (py3k, Apr 12 2008, 02:53:16) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> x = b"abc" >>> repr(x) "b'abc'" >>> str(x,"ascii") 'abc' >>> str(x,"utf-8") 'abc' >>> str(x) "b'abc'" On the last line, str(x), I would expect 'abc' - same as str(x, 'ascii') above. But I get the same as repr(x) - is this on purpose? -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
