Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: This will change the documented behavior. Even if allow this change in a new feature release, it can't be made in maintained releases.
A tuple of integers is memory excessive and slow. A bytes object is more compact (but may be less compact than a string) and faster. But on little-endian platform every wchar_t should be converted to big-endian for supporting comparison of bytes objects. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16258> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
