I've been playing with 'from __future__ import unicode_literals' just
to see how unicode unclean some of my code was. Almost everything was
fairly easy to fix but I found two interesting situations. One seems
fairly shallow and might arguably be fixable in Python 2.6 (but
probably not :). The other clearly can't be addressed in Python 2.6,
but the question is whether it should be changed for Python 2.7.
Here's some sample code:
- -----snip snip-----
from __future__ import unicode_literals
def foo(a=None, b=None):
print a, b
# This is a TypeError
foo(**{'a': 1, 'b': 2})
foo(**dict(a=1, b=2))
from optparse import OptionParser
parser = OptionParser()
# This also raises a TypeError
parser.add_option('-f', '--foo')
- -----snip snip-----
The add_option() failure is a one-line fix.
