Hmm, that sounds like an oversight to me. Why should "s" not accept bytes when "s#" and "s*" do ? The only difference between "s" and "s#" is that you work with NUL-terminated strings as opposed to binary or text data with embedded NULs. Even Unicode objects can contain embedded NULs, so from that perspective there's no difference. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8949> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
