Now I'm confused. Are we proposing that all our XML APIs read and write encoded bytes, or are we proposing that they read and write Unicode strings, leaving the encoding/decoding to the I/O stream? I thought the latter was preferred but now it looks like you're arguing for the former? -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
