I want the standard streams to consume and produce bytes. I do a lot of system programming and connect processes to each other with socketpairs, pipes and the like. I have dealt with plugin APIs that communicate over stdin and stdout. Python is clearly on a crusade to make *text* a first class system entity. I don't believe that is possible (without casualties) in the linux world. Python text should only exist inside string objects. Marko -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
