R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: A diff would be great.
We try to use warnings sparingly, and I don't think this is a case that warrants it. Possibly a .. note is worthwhile, perhaps with an example for the bytes case, but even that may be too much. I also wouldn't use the wording "is totally different from what you would expect", since by now I do expect it :). How about something like "the result will not be the decoded version of the bytes, but instead will be the repr of the object", with a cross link to repr. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13538> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
