Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment: Ah, I see: you’re equating “string” with “text string” or “character string”, whereas I read “bytes string” as “finite sequence of bytes”. With this definition, there *are* two string types in Python 3, it’s just that they’re much more divorced than in 2.x.
> they should think that there are only Unicode strings I’d say they should think that text processing should only happen with the one type dedicated to text, i.e. str. > they can be converted to a bytes object (or simply to 'bytes') Okay, +0 to use only “bytes object” (or “bytes” when it sounds better). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4153> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
