Whenever this PEP talks about bytes we can just use str/PyString in the backport. > I just started to work on implementing this PEP for ctypes, in the > hope that these changes can be merged into trunk. Remember that the trunk ought to remain backwards compatible with 2.5 -- 2.6 should not break code that worked under 2.5, since we want as many users as possible to feel comfortable with upgrading to 2.6. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
