Nick Coghlan added the comment: Changing return type based on argument *values* is still a bad idea in general.
It also makes it hard to plug the API in to generic code that is designed to work with any dump/load based serialisation protocol. MvL suggested a json.bytes submodule (rather than a separate top level module) in the other issue and that sounds reasonable to me, especially since json is already implemented as a package. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19837> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
