-1 for the same reasons I keep repeating over and over and over again :-) The codec system was designed to work obj->obj. Python 3 limits the types for the bytes/str helper methods, but that limitation does not extend to the codec design. +1 on having better error messages. In the long run, we should add supported input/output type information to codecs, so that error reporting and codec introspection becomes easier. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Nov 04 2013) >>> Python Projects, Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope/Plone.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ 2013-11-19: Python Meeting Duesseldorf ... 15 days to go ::::: Try our mxODBC.Connect Python Database Interface for free ! :::::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
