Good suggestion. And yes, code is shared in the following way: http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/d3c7ebdc71bb/Objects/bytesobject.c#l2306 One thing that would need to be addressed in the str() version is if bytesobj is a PEP 3118 character buffer, after which it falls back to bytesobj.decode(encoding, errors). I will update the patch so people can see how it looks. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13538> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
