Glenn Linderman <v+pyt...@g.nevcal.com> added the comment: We have several, myself included, that can't use CGI under 3.x because it doesn't take a binary stream.
I believe there are several alternatives: 1) Document that CGI needs a binary stream, and expect the user to provide it, either an explicit handle, or by tweaking sys.stdin before calling with a default file stream. 2) Provide a CGI function for tweaking sys.stdin (along with #1) 3) Document that CGI will attempt to convert passed in streams, default or explicit, to binary, if they aren't already, and implement the code to do so. My choice is #3. I see CGI as being used only in HTTP environments, where the data stream should be binary anyway. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4953> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
