Sounds like yet another remnant of the old philosophy, which indeed supported encode and decode operations on both string types. :-(

Hello,
I've just noticed that in py3k, the decoding functions in the codecs module accept str objects as well as bytes: # import codecs # c = codecs.getdecoder('utf8') # c('aa') ('aa', 2) # c('éé') ('éé', 4) # c = codecs.getdecoder('latin1') # c('aa') ('aa', 2) # c('éé') ('Ã(c)Ã(c)', 4) Is it a bug? Regards Antoine.
