New submission from Arno-Can Uestuensoez <acue.opensou...@gmail.com>:
Hello,
I am currently writing some dual-version libraries and have
to deal with str/unicode.
The attached code example contains the str/unicode handling.
The Python3.6.2 release behaves as I did not expected for
all of the following the conversions:
unicode = str # @ReservedAssignment # it is intentional
mystring = "abc"
u0 = unicode(bytes(mystring.encode())) # == str(mystring)
mystring = "abc"
u0 = unicode(bytes(mystring.encode('utf-8'))) # == str(mystring)
mystring = "abc"
u0 = unicode(bytes(mystring.encode('ascii'))) # == str(mystring)
mystring = b"abc"
u0 = unicode(mystring) # == str(mystring)
results for Python3 in:
type: <class 'str'>
len: 6
b'abc'
while in Python2:
type: <type 'unicode'>
len: 3
abc
I am not sure whether this is the intended behavior because the manual
could eventually be misinterpreted:
4.8.1. Bytes Objects
Bytes objects are immutable sequences of single bytes.
Since many major binary protocols are based on the ASCII text
encoding, bytes objects offer several methods that are only
valid when working with ASCII compatible data and are closely
related to string objects in a variety of other ways.
class bytes([source[, encoding[, errors]]])
Firstly, the syntax for bytes literals is largely the same as
that for string literals, except that a b prefix is added:
I expected the 'b'-prefix to be added to the input only, but I
expect the output without a type-prefix, because it is just an
attribute/property.
The result for Python3 should be similar to Python2:
type: <type 'str'>
len: 3
abc
Regards
Arno
