David M. Beazley <beaz...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment: An apology on the delay. Things have been rather hectic.
Regarding a patch, I don't really have a patch so much as a suggested procedure. Basically, I'm suggesting that the maintainers of the library documentation simply do a quick survey of network related modules and make it clear that many of the operations work on "byte strings" and not "strings." In Python 2.X, you could get away with being a little sloppy, but in Python 3, the bytes/strings distinction becomes much more prominent. If I have time, I might be able to make a specific patch, but it probably wouldn't be until after PyCON sometime. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4758> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
