FWIW, that is also the way things are done in the pickle/cPickle
module. dump/dumps and load/loads to differentiate between the file
object and string ways of using that functionality.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Apr 11, 2009 at 7:41 AM, Chris Withers <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:chris@simplistix.co.uk">chris@simplistix.co.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Of course, one could use message.header and message.bythdr and they'd<br>
be the same length.<br>

I was trying to figure out what a 'thdr' was that we'd want to index<br>
'by' it. :)<br>

In the discussions about os.environ, the suggested approach was to just<br>
tack a 'b' onto the end of the name to get the bytes version (i.e.<br>
os.environb).<br>
<br>
That aligns nicely with the b"" prefix for bytes literals, and isn't<br>
much of a typing or reading burden when dealing with the bytes API<br>
instead of the text one.<br>
<br>
A similar naming scheme (i.e. msg.headers and msg.headersb) would<br>
probably work for email as well.<br>
