r55932 (~3 years ago): "Rip out all codecs that can't work in a unicode/bytes world: base64, uu, zlib, rot_13, hex, quopri, bz2, string_escape. However codecs.escape_encode() and codecs.escape_decode() still exist, as they are used for pickling str8 objects (so those two functions can go, when the str8 type is removed)." There were removed 1 year and an half before Python 3.0 release. > ... and about their coming back which coming back? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8838> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
