Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment: Ah, I got it wrong, get_data itself uses `rb`, not default `r`. It makes sense given that package data could be any kind of file, not necessarily text. Too bad there isn’t a `get_text(encoding)` method in the loader API!
With Python 3’s rich IO system, isn’t there a quick and correct way to get a text file from a bytes stream? TextIOWrapper? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue1812> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
