Please don't do that. It remembers me the magical str.encode() method of Python2. I prefer simple API with limited features: if you want to open a Python script, use tokenize.open(), if you want to open an XML document use any XML library, etc. It remembers me also the discussion about detecting BOM in text files: issue #7651. There was no consensus, and so the issue is still open. For this particular issue, I prefer a specific function tokenize.<choose a function name>. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10335> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
