I think there's a misunderstanding there. The pickle version 0 output used to be 7-bit only for both type code and content. While adding the Unicode support I must have forgotten about the fact that raw-unicode-escape does not escape range(128, 256) code points. Unfortunately, there's no way to fix this now, since the bug has been around since Python 1.6. That's why I think we should update the docs. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2980> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
