Antoine Pitrou added the comment: Apparently the current code is a result of Guido's changeset 980308fbda29 which changed normal Unix sockets to use unicode objects, but Linux abstract namespace sockets to use bytes objects.
I don't know if a lot of thought was given to the issue in that changeset; I would favour using PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefaultAndSize for Linux abstract namespace sockets too. ---------- nosy: +gvanrossum _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17683> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
