I hate this behaviour. It doesn't help migration, it's the opposite! Sometimes it works (ASCII), and somtimes it fails (just one non-ASCII character). And then we will read "Unicode sucks!" because people doesn't understand the error. > In Python 3.x, it's probably better to use bytes throughout the > API. I propose to reject unicode in Python 3.x and display a warning for Python 2.x. A warning to prepare the migration... not to Unicode, but to Python3 ;-) _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4757> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
