the_isz <the_...@gmx.de> added the comment: Well, the only thing I can add to this is that the json module (which I ended up using) supports unicode with no problem. So I think the argument that most of the standard library in 2.x assumes bytestrings is a bit... shaky.
Other than that, I can follow your reasoning and will just hope that all my needed external libraries will soon make it to python 3 so I don't have to fight such inconsistencies anymore :) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11597> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
