Figure I should check here before filing a bug. Anyone understand
the following discrepancy between 2.5 and 2.6:
$ python2.5
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Jan 17 2008, 19:35:17)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> '\x41\x00'.decode('utf16')
u'A'
same with 2.5.2:
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Feb 22 2008, 07:57:53)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5363)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> '\x41\x00'.decode('utf16')
u'A'
$ python2.6
Python 2.6 (trunk:66714:66715M, Oct 1 2008, 18:36:04)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5370)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> '\x41\x00'.decode('utf16')
u'\u4100'
\u4100 is some Chinese character - clearly a bug I'd say.
