IMO, Py2K's "binary" is str, that's all you should accept, and Py3K's "binary" is "bytes", that's all you should accept. A Unicode object is not a "binary" any more than a Python dictionary is. If your users are looking for the "convenience" of assuming unicodes become binaries by using the nearest available character set to encode it, they need to be reminded of "explicit is better than implicit" :). > > -- > INADA Naoki <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> > > > _______________________________________________ > DB-SIG maillist - [email protected] > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/db-sig > _______________________________________________ DB-SIG maillist - [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/db-sig
