Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Graham Horler (grahamh) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: StreamReader broken for byte string to byte string codecs Initial Comment: print sys.version 2.4.1 (#2, Jul 12 2005, 09:22:25) [GCC 4.0.1 (Debian 4.0.1-1)] Decoding to what (according to the documentation) should be a byte string (using StreamReader) does one of 2 incorrect things, depending on the default encoding: 1) If the byte string has values not in the current default encoding then StreamReader.read() incorrectly triggers an exception. 2) If the byte string can be accomodated by the current default encoding then StreamReader.read() incorrectly returns a unicode object. The documentation says in lib/standard-encodings.html: "The result of the ``decoding'' direction is listed as operand type in the table." "base64_codec ... byte string" (This bug does not exist in python2.2 or 2.3) The attached script demonstrates the 2 related bugs.
