R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: See also msg79724 of issue 4871. From looking at the code it appears that the filename must be a string, and if it contains only ASCII characters it is entered as ascii, while if it contains non-ascii it is encoded to utf-8 and the appropriate flag bits set in the archive to indicate this (I know nothing about the archive format, by the way, I'm just looking at the code).
So, in reverse of issue 4871, it appears that in this case the API should reject bytes input with an appropriate error message. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10757> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
