Martin v. Löwis <mar...@v.loewis.de> added the comment: I agree that the codec shouldn't "decode" unicode strings. However, the operation performed is still meaningful: users may type ACE (ascii-compatibly-encoded) DNS names into a user interface, and the application may then represent this as a "proper" Unicode name.
So I propose these changes: - remove support for bytes in codec, but only so for 3.3 (it's actually no change in behavior, since it will continue to raise TypeErrors) - add a function decode_idna to the module, for users that wish to un-IDNA string objects. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3232> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
