It is indeed, I stand corrected. I was confused by the decode -> encode roundtrip that happens in _ssl. However I think that in theory SSLSocket.server_hostname could be a bytes, if a bytes was passed into the constructor. _ssl parses this argument with the "et" format which means it will let a correctly encoded byte string through. Not sure if anybody is using this though. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22564> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
