When using nose to run unittests, i discovered that depending on nose' command line parameters, sys.stdout.encoding can be None.
I wonder what that means for an io.TextIOBase object. Is None a valid value for 'encoding'? Is None equivalent to 'ascii' in this case? If None is a valid value for io.TextIOBase.encoding, then why is it not a valid value for bytes.encode()? Regards, Rocco -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
