[Shiny new list address! This is exciting!]
So... IReactorTCP.connectTCP claims that 'host' should be a 'bytes':
https://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/api/twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorTCP.html#connectTCP
PosixReactorBase.connectTCP doesn't tell us what type it should be, but,
via tcp.Connector, ends up using it to construct an IPv4Address, which
reckons it should be a 'str':
https://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/api/twisted.internet.address.IPv4Address.html#host.
Connector also uses it to construct a tcp.Client, where it gets used as
part of tcp.Client.addr, which is again supposed to be a 'str'.
I think in practice, either works, but it looks like most things
*expect* it to be a 'str', with grudging support for 'bytes'. So my
impression is the definition of the interface is wrong. Any
thoughts/comments?
(While we're at it, IReactorTCP also claims that 'timeout' and
'bindAddress' are required parameters, even though all the
implementations make them optional.)
