pip is not part of Python 2, so I suggest to close this issue as "third party". I dislike changing optparse just for pip. For me, the bug should be fixed in pip, not in optparse. I see a high risk of breaking applications which currently work as expected. If the default value is a non-ASCII string, unicode() will raise a UnicodeDecodeError. ---------- nosy: +vstinner _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue24307> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
