Raymond Hettinger <rhettin...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:
In Py2.x, I think the desired behavior should match str.join(). If either input in unicode the output is unicode. If both are ascii, ascii should come out. For Py3.x, I think the goal was to have str.join() enforce that both inputs are unicode. If either are bytes, then you have to know the encoding. ---------- nosy: +rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3446> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
