New submission from Rupert Nash: According to the docs this method should return a str, but it returns bytes https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/xdrlib.html#xdrlib.Unpacker.unpack_string
I can see three options: a default encoding should be applied the documentation updated to make clear this returns bytes the method removed and just rely on the existing unpack_bytes which does what you'd expect (and in fact the two methods are aliases) ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 292624 nosy: rnash priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: xdrlib.Unpacker.unpack_string returns bytes (docs say should be str) type: behavior versions: Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30216> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
