New submission from Nik Tautenhahn <nik@livinglogic.de>: Hi, before 2.7, an import json json.loads('"abc"') yielded u"abc". in 2.7 I get "abc" (a byte string). I would have expected an entry in "news" or "What's new in 2.7" why this change happened. In addition, all examples at http://docs.python.org/library/json are wrong for Python 2.7 if json.loads is involved. Any insight on this? best regards, Nik ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation, Library (Lib) messages: 118069 nosy: docs@python, llnik priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Returntype of json.loads() on strings type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10038> _______________________________________
