Tal Einat added the comment: +1. I was recently trying to use the C API for a 3rd party library, and all of these subtly different string parameter formats made things surprisingly confusing.
These are part of the Python C API, so removing them could break 3rd party code. Simply searching through the stdlib is not enough to show that these are not in use. So removal would require a deprecation period. ---------- nosy: +taleinat _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24009> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
