New submission from Lance Helsten: plistlib.writePlist documentation states """Write 'rootObject' to a .plist file. 'pathOrFile' may either be a file name or a (writable) file object.""", but if a text IO object is given for the pathOrFile object (e.g. ``io.TextIOBase`` or ``sys.stdout``) a ``TypeError`` with message "must be str, not bytes" is raised.
To clarify the documentation should be changed to be """...or a (writable, binary) file object.""". ---------- messages: 188160 nosy: lanhel priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: plistlib.writePlist documentation clarification for file object type: enhancement versions: Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17881> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
