Yes, it's on purpose but it's a bug in your application to call str() on a bytes object or to compare bytes and unicode directly. Several months ago I added a bytes warning option to Python. Start Python as "python -bb" and try it again. ;) Christian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
