[New-bugs-announce] [issue1022] use bytes for code objects

[Neal Norwitz]

New submission from Neal Norwitz:

This patch has a hack to read in marshaled code objects.  Bytes can't be 
marshaled currently (they are stored as strings).  So when reading a 
marshaled code object, the hack converts them to bytes.

All tests except test_modulefinder pass.

The issue is that since bytes are mutable, they aren't suitable for code 
objects since a user could change them at any time.
