You had a function which raised a confusing and unintentional KeyError when given non-ASCII Unicode input. Now it doesn't. That's the bug fix part. What I assume you're referring to as a "new feature" is the new arguments. I'd say they're unfortunately necessary in fixing this bug, as the fix requires encoding the non-ASCII unicode characters with some encoding, and it's (arguably) necessary to give the programmer the choice of encoding, with sensible defaults. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1712522> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
