Łukasz Langa <luk...@langa.pl> added the comment:
Hello, Mickey. By doing open('file', 'rb') you're explicitly stating you want
the file to be opened in BINARY mode which means it doesn't return strings but
bytes. This is not supported anymore in Python 3. This is clearly documented
here:
http://docs.python.org/dev/library/configparser.html#configparser.ConfigParser.read_file
Same goes for urllib.request.urlopen, it returns bytes because this is all
Python knows at the time of reading the URL. If you happen to know the encoding
(for instance by parsing the data or headers) you can do something like this:
http://docs.python.org/dev/library/urllib.request.html#examples . Your example
would become:
config.read_string(urlopen(path_config).read().decode('utf-8'))
Since this is a reasonable mistake to make, I'm leaving this open to adjust the
exception raised if read() yields bytes instead of expected strings.
