Nikolaus Rath added the comment: Yes, bytes objects have some advantages. But if a bytes object is desired, it can always be created from bytes-like object. If a BufferedIOBase instance is required to only provide bytes objects, this conversion is forced even when it may not be necessary.
If someone is willing to do the work (and I am), is there a reason *not* to allow TextIOWrapper to accept bytes-like objects? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21057> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
