Antoine Pitrou created ARROW-3227:
-------------------------------------
Summary: [Python] NativeFile.write shouldn't accept unicode strings
Key: ARROW-3227
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-3227
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Python
Affects Versions: 0.10.0
Reporter: Antoine Pitrou
Arrow files are binary, but for some reason {{NativeFile.write}} silently
converts unicode strings to bytes.
{code:python}
>>> b = io.BytesIO()
>>> b.write("foo")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<ipython-input-6-a7195dbc0372>", line 1, in <module>
b.write("foo")
TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'
>>> f = pa.PythonFile(b)
>>> f.write("foo")
>>> b.getvalue()
b'foo'
>>> f.write("😀")
>>> b.getvalue()
b'foo\xf0\x9f\x98\x80'
{code}
