What is the difference supposed to be between those two?
The method used for conversion and the return type:
- ascii-encoded text: b'123' --> int(123) - encoded text (ascii or russian or asian or ...): b'abc' --> u'abc'
I'm sorry, I still don't parse this. What is it in Python 3.3 that prevents you from doing this?
Nothing at all, and that part works fine. The trouble (for me) comes in when I try to use single bytes, either when creating or extracting. The above examples were to show that Stephen J Turnbull's idea wouldn't work for me. -- ~Ethan~
