Ultimately we're talking about redundancy and performance here. The "use case" such as there is one, is if there's a class (be it DirEntry or whatever else) that natively stores bytes, and __fspath__ has to return str, then it calls fsdecode and then open immediately turns around and calls fsencode on the result, accomplishing nothing vs just passing everything straight through. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
