codecs can work on any combination of types. Here's an example of a codec that accepts str and unicode and returns str: '313233' >>> u'123'.encode('hex') '313233' >>> '313233'.decode('hex') '123' >>> u'313233'.decode('hex') '123' In 3.1 the method don't support this anymore, since they are more strict w/r to type checking. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6300> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
