As I understand, you would like to use bytes as characters, like b'{code} {message}'.format(code=100, message='OK'). So why no using explicit conversion to ASCII? ftp='{code} {message}'.format(code=100, message='OK').encode('ASCII'). If you need to work on bytes, it means that you will use the full range 0..255 whereas ASCII reject bytes in 128..255. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3982> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
