Re: [Python-Dev] Need help fixing failing Py3k Unittests in py3k-struni
I have a very remedial question about how to fix test failures due to the side effects of string-unicode integration. The xmlrpc library uses explicit encoding to encode XML tag payloads to (almost always) utf8. Tag literals are not encoded. What would be the best way to mimic this behavior under the new regime? Just use unicode everywhere and encode the entire XML body to utf-8 at the end? Or deal explicitly in bytes everywhere? Or..?
