New submission from Christian Heimes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: In byte warning mode (-b or -bb command line argument) b'' == '' raises an exception but b'' != '' doesn't.
./python -bb >>> b'' == '' Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> BytesWarning: Comparison between bytes and string >>> b'' != '' True I can't recall why I implemented the byte warning mode this way. But nowadays I think it could hide bugs in code like "while egg != ''" where egg is a byte instance. ---------- assignee: barry components: Interpreter Core messages: 73969 nosy: barry, christian.heimes priority: release blocker severity: normal status: open title: Byte warning mode and b'' != '' type: behavior versions: Python 3.0 _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3988> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
