New submission from Terry J. Reedy: If an object ob does not have a __bytes__ method or buffer interface and is not a string, integer, or iterable, bytes(ob) fails with
TypeError: 'object' object is not iterable This is misleadingly narror (similar to #17032). We should either list *all* the things that ob is not 'object' object is not a string, integer, or iterable and does not have a __bytes__ method or buffer interface or simply say 'object' object cannot be converted to bytes and let the programmer recheck what can be. ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 183345 nosy: terry.reedy priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: bytes() TypeError message is misleadingly narrow type: enhancement versions: Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17339> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
