Eugene Kapun <abacabadabac...@gmail.com> added the comment:
-1 on special-casing string without an encoding. Current code does (almost)
this:
...
if argument_is_a_string:
if not encoding_is_given: # Special case
raise TypeError("string argument without an encoding")
encode_argument()
return
if encoding_is_given:
raise TypeError("encoding or errors without a string argument")
...
IMO, it should do this instead:
...
if encoding_is_given:
if not argument_is_a_string:
raise TypeError("encoding or errors without a string argument")
encode_argument()
return
...
This way, bytearray("") would work without any special cases.
