I just ran 2to3 on a py2.5 script that does pattern matching on the
text of a web page. The resulting script crashed, because when I did
f = urllib.request.urlopen(url)
text = f.read()
then "text" is a bytes object, not a string, and so I can't do a
regexp on it.
Of course, this is easy
Okay, so I guess I didn't really *get* the whole unicode/text/binary
thing. Maybe I still don't, but I think I'm getting closer. Thanks to
everyone who replied.
