Walter Dörwald <wal...@livinglogic.de> added the comment: codecs.iterencode()/iterdecode() are just shallow 10-line wrappers around incremental codecs (which are used as the basis of io streams).
Note that the doc string for iterencode() contains: Encodes the input strings from the iterator using an IncrementalEncoder. i.e. "strings" (plural) should give a hint that iterator is an iterator over strings. But maybe this could be made clearer. And https://docs.python.org/3/library/codecs.html#codecs.iterencode and https://docs.python.org/3/library/codecs.html#codecs.iterdecode could indead be clearer about what iterator should be. An example might also help. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38482> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
