Derek Wilson added the comment: Gregory - I'm glad that you're willing to consider this again. It still is a constant issue for me, and .format with variable width fields in binary protocols is so the right tool for the job. If there is anything I can do to help get this added to 3.6 let me know. The forward/backward compatibility issue is secondary to me to the flexibility gained from having .format available for bytes.
Also padding with null bytes that don't get converted would be awesome. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3982> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
