New submission from Marc-Andre Lemburg: In Python 3.4.3, the doc string of the str() builtin still reads:
"str(object='') -> str\nstr(bytes_or_buffer[, encoding[, errors]]) -> str\n\nCreate a new string object from the given object. If encoding or\nerrors is specified, then the object must expose a data buffer\nthat will be decoded using the given encoding and error handler.\nOtherwise, returns the result of object.__str__() (if defined)\nor repr(object).\nencoding defaults to sys.getdefaultencoding().\nerrors defaults to 'strict'." This no longer matches what str() does. sys.getdefaultencoding() always returns 'utf-8' and str() accepts bytes, bytearray or buffer-like objects as input when using an encoding, any object with .__str__() method defined or repr(obj) otherwise. ---------- components: Interpreter Core, Unicode messages: 241798 nosy: ezio.melotti, haypo, lemburg priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: str.__doc__ needs an update versions: Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24024> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
