New submission from David Beazley <d...@dabeaz.com>: Is io.FileIO.write() supposed to accept and implicitly encode Unicode strings as illustrated by this simple example?
>>> f = open("/dev/null","wb",buffering=0) >>> f.write("Hello World\n") 12 >>> Moreover, is the behavior of BufferedWriter objects supposed to be different as illustrated by this example: >>> f = open("/dev/null","wb") >>> f.write("Hello World\n") Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: write() argument 1 must be bytes or buffer, not str >>> ---------- components: IO messages: 98333 nosy: dabeaz severity: normal status: open title: FileIO.write() accepts Unicode strings type: behavior versions: Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7785> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
