[Python-Dev] 3.0 C API to decode bytes into unicode?

2008-08-01 Thread Barry Scott
I cannot see how I implement decode() for bytes objects using the C API for PyCXX library, I'd assuming that I should find a PyBytes_Decode function but cannot find it in beta 2. What is the preferred way to do this? Barry ___ Python-Dev mailing

[Python-Dev] Base-96

I think that would be very interesting thay Python would have a module for working on base 96 too. [1] It could be converted to base 96 the digests from hashlib module, and random bytes used on crypto (to create the salt, the IV, or a key). As you can see here [2], the printable ASCII characters
