[issue13460] urllib methods should demand unicode, instead demand str
New submission from Tyler Starke : It seems bad practice for urllib methods to demand a str instance and they should demand a unicode instance. By demanding a str instance the default behavior is too demanding, for the web space it is being used, for the English language. We would want Python to extend beyond English when it uses urllib Currently I am encoding the unicode passed with 'utf-8' and that works. -- components: Library (Lib), Unicode messages: 148165 nosy: Tyler.Starke, ezio.melotti priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: urllib methods should demand unicode, instead demand str type: behavior ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue13460> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Tyler Starke added the comment: well that was closed fast. I noticed in the docs that Python 3 demands a str type also. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue13460> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Tyler Starke added the comment: Nevermind. I had to download the source to see that it encodes to 'utf-8', or a passed encoding method, in the methods that are causing problems in 2.6.5. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue13460> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
