Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment: FYI, instead of trying to do exhaustive type checking in _check_type(), you can just rely on duck typing and catch the TypeError:
>>> str(b"a", "utf-8") 'a' >>> str(bytearray(b"a"), "utf-8") 'a' >>> str(memoryview(b"a"), "utf-8") 'a' >>> str(1, "utf-8") Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: coercing to str: need string or buffer, int found _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4718> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
