New submission from Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpyt...@gmail.com>:
There is an inconsistency in the _msi.SummaryInformation class. Its method SetProperty() accepts str, but GetProperty() returns bytes (encoded with the Windows ANSI encoding). Since os.fsencode()/os.fsdecode() now use UTF-8 encoding, it is not so easy to convert between bytes and str. Also, the encoding with the Windows ANSI encoding is lossy, so it may be that there is a loss in GetProperty(). ---------- components: Windows messages: 372777 nosy: paul.moore, serhiy.storchaka, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: msilib: SetProperty() accepts str, but GetProperty() returns bytes type: behavior _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41190> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
