PB transfers names of methods and classes as bytes, not as unicode. Which is logical since PY2 does not support unicode identifiers, and bytes is already a native PY2 string. Unicode is only used for content. It not yet always clear to me what is content and what is a formal string like method names or the *_atom strings which must be bytes, this needs more testing. I guess I should patch banana.py such that it dumps all it encodes or decodes into one file, so I can compare output from PY2/PY3 tests. I was assuming that suddenly transferring method names as unicode would really be a break of wire protocol stability, or do you think otherwise? If you think this is acceptable, I will check if the existing twisted code can handle getting those as unicode without source code changes. Not sure. Just tested this with Python2.6, and I am surprised that it works: >>> getattr(A,u'x') <unbound method A.x> Supporting PEP3131 would only introduce a backward-incompatibility. Of course you are right that this is not part of porting. Right now I have a long list of small unsorted git commits, I will have to do a lot of reshuffling and cleaning before I will ask you how to get it into the official codebase. Not all of those commits are strictly porting, some just clean the code, making the porting commits simpler. > A failing unit test or a minimal example (<http://sscce.org/>) would > communicate this most clearly, but perhaps you can just mention a > specific API and give an incomplete example of how it will fail when it > runs up against the changes defined by PEP 3131. see my first mail in this thread: take test_pb.py, rename getSimple to getSimpleä, run the test. -- Wolfgang _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
