STINNER Victor added the comment: sys.stderr.write() accepts Unicode (encoded to sys.stderr.encoding), whereas io.BytesIO.write() requires bytes:
>>> import sys; sys.stderr.write(u'\xe9\n') é >>> import io; io.BytesIO().write(u'\xe9\n') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: 'unicode' does not have the buffer interface You should write an helper function (class with a write method) encoding Unicode strings. > The same test runs without error on Python 3. Yeah, it's now time to upgrade to Python 3 ;-) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29809> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
