One of the key features of Python 3.0 is the fact that it now distinguishes between bytes and strings. Unfortunately, there are a lot of ambiguous areas where the correct handling is not clear; for example, nobody has yet agreed whether URLs are strings or bytes. As you discovered, forced conversion to string seems to work here and I suggest you make that your workaround. You could also file a bug on bugs.python.org (first checking to see whether someone else has already done so). -- Aahz (a...@pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ Weinberg's Second Law: If builders built buildings the way programmers wrote programs, then the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
