You can install any codec you like and those essentially decide on what to return as type. However, the unicode methods only allow strings or unicode to be returned in Python 2. In Python 3, .encode() only allows bytes. You can still get the full codec encode/decode functionality via the codecs encode/decode methods in Python 3. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Experts (#1, Dec 20 2018) >>> Python Projects, Coaching and Consulting ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> Python Database Interfaces ... http://products.egenix.com/ >>> Plone/Zope Database Interfaces ... http://zope.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::: We implement business ideas - efficiently in both time and costs ::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
