So now you can write x.split(literal_as('&', x)).
This polymorphism is what we used in Python2 a lot to write
code that works for both Unicode and 8-bit strings.
Unfortunately, this no longer works as easily in Python3 due
to the literals sometimes having the wrong type and using
such a helper function slows things down a lot.
I didn't work in 2 either - see for instance the traceback module with
an Exception with unicode args and a non-ascii file path - the file
path is in its bytes form, the string joining logic triggers an
implicit upcast and *boom*.
Yeah, there are still a few places in unittest where a unicode exception
can cause the whole test run to bomb out. No-one has *yet* reported
these as bugs and I try and ferret them out as I find them.
All the best,
Michael
Too bad we can't add such porting enhancements to Python2 anymore
Perhaps a 'py3compat' module on pypi, with things like the py._builtin
reraise helper and so forth ?
