[issue11646] 2to3: msvcrt.(get|put)ch -> (get|put)wch

[Eryk Sun]

Eryk Sun  added the comment:

The bytes type has supported string methods for a long time now. I don't think 
there's anything else to do here. msvcrt.getch() is a low-level I/O function 
like os.read(). It should not be automatically converted to msvcrt.getwch(). 
Unfortunately the function names weren't changed in Python 3. I'd rather that 
msvcrt.getch() returned str and msvcrt.getchb() returned bytes. Then there 
would have actually been something for 2to3 to convert (e.g. getch -> getchb, 
and getwch -> getch).

The original function names are still listed and the wide versions have been 
added to the docs so this can be closed as "out of date".

[anatoly techtonik]

New submission from anatoly techtonik :

msvcrt function calls need to be renamed to unicode equivalents, because now 
they return bytes, which doesn't support string methods used to process the 
output (e.g. lower()).

http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/msvcrt.html

msvcrt.getch() -> msvcrt.getwch()
msvcrt.getche() -> msvcrt.getwche()
msvcrt.putch() -> msvcrt.putwch()
msvcrt.ungetch() -> msvcrt.ungetwch()
