Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment: +1 for changing the API for any cases where the filesystem path is also used to determine the return type - given that we stuffed this up for the rmtree implementation, I expect end users would be prone to making exactly the same mistake.
Retaining the ability to control the return type explicitly even when pass a descriptor would be a *lot* cleaner than other possibilities (which would all involve a bunch of manual encoding and decoding with os.fsencode() and os.fsdecode()). ---------- priority: normal -> release blocker _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15176> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
