- Borogove 13y agoAs many comments in that thread point out, byte arrays are not strings, and casually conflating or implicitly converting the two is terrible mental hygiene. Explicit is better than implicit.
- viraptor 13y agoI read it all, and to be honest I think I agree the most with http://bugs.python.org/issue3982#msg180441 http://bugs.python.org/issue3982#msg180441 (.format may be making some things simpler, but it goes against the idea of well separated bytes -vs- text) But really, I just don't like how http/ftp/similar protocols were designed in the first place. They're mixing binary and text in the same stream. That's ugly and when you have strict rules about text encoding in your language, the implementation also turns out ugly - what a surprise :)
