Greetings! A PEP is under discussion to add %-interpolation back to the bytes type in Python 3.5.
Assuming the PEP is accepted, what *will* be added back is: Numerics: b'%d' % 10 --> b'10' b'%02x' % 10 --> b'0a' Single byte: b'%c' % 80 --> b'P' and generic: b'%s' % some_binary_blob --> b'tHE*&92h4' (or whatever) What is under debate is whether we should also add %a: b'%a' % some_obj --> b'some_obj_repr' What %a would do: get the repr of some_obj convert it to ascii using backslashreplace (to handle any code points over 127) encode to bytes using 'ascii' Can anybody think of a use-case for this particular feature? -- ~Ethan~ -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
