Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: Bytes repr doesn't contains non-ascii characters, therefore Python is actually receiving a question mark from the pipe.
What are results of following commands? py -3 -c "import sys; sys.stdout.buffer.write(bytes(range(128, 256)))" py -3 -c "import sys; sys.stdout.buffer.write(bytes(range(128, 256)))" | py -3 -c "import sys; b = sys.stdin.buffer.read(); print(len(b), b)" ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21927> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
