That would not be good. Many people create pickles in 2.x where the string type really represents characters, more often so than they want it to represent bytes. Giving them bytes on unpickling will likely cause more problems than the current approach. > 2. python 2 unicode maps to python3 string That's the case, right? > 3. python 3 string map to python 2 unicode That's also the case, AFAICT. > 4. python 3 bytestring maps to python 2 string Hmm. This may be indeed a mistake. Until r61467, bytes were saved with the (BIN)STRING code; not sure why this was changed. ---------- title: byte/unicode pickle incompatibilities between python2 and and python3 -> byte/unicode pickle incompatibilities between python2 and and python3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6784> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
