New submission from radiocane :
In Python 2.7.15rc1 the docstring for unicode.encode starts with:
"S.encode([encoding[,errors]]) -> string or unicode"
But if this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/449281/5397695 is correct, then
unicode.encode will never return a unicode objec
radiocane added the comment:
Given that:
1) No standard codec returns unicode
2) I consider as "most common scenario" the case where a user wants to encode a
unicode object using some character encoding and get back an str-like object
I'll keep on finding "-> string
radiocane added the comment:
>> I'll keep on finding "-> string or unicode" misleading.
> How is it misleading when its true?
[I promise this is the last reply: I won't waste more of your time]
me: How fast does this car go?
docstring: 100 km/h or 300 km/h
