I have a contrary anecdote: for the sorts of work I do, having to distinguish between strings and bytes makes using Python3 more difficult, and more prone to errors.
I mostly deal with network protocols, lots of numeric content, and scarcely any non-English text.
But I appreciate other people have different needs.
- joshuamorton 9y agoI feel like the answer to this is "then use bytes everywhere". Why doesn't that work?
- orf 9y agoThat's akin to saying: > For the sorts of work I do, having to distinguish between lists and dictionaries makes using Python 3 more difficult and more prone to errors. I mostly deal with lists, and scaresely any dictionaries. Just use bytes where appropriate.
