New submission from Nathan Phillip Brink : http://docs.python.org/py3k/faq/programming.html#what-does-unicodeerror-asci... When I try to use unicode() from within python3, the call fails. I would actually expect that the FAQ should contain more information concerning the merging of the unicode and str classes. It would be nice if, when this FAQ entry is updated, there is a short discussion on making the code compatible with both python2 and python3, as it appears that's the only way python3 adaption will ever happen. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 105574 nosy: docs@python, ohnobinki priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: python3 FAQ mentions unicode() versions: Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker http://bugs.python.org/issue8694 _______________________________________
