New submission from Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis:
shutil.which() should support bytes. Some other functions in shutil module
support bytes.
>>> shutil.which("echo")
'/bin/echo'
>>> shutil.which(b"echo")
>>>
>>>
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib64/python3.3/shutil.py", line 1126, in which
name = os.path.join(dir, thefile)
File "/usr/lib64/python3.3/posixpath.py", line 92, in join
"components.") from None
TypeError: Can't mix strings and bytes in path components.
>>> shutil.which("echo", path="/bin")
'/bin/echo'
>>> shutil.which("echo", path=b"/bin")
Traceback (most recent call last):
