A more correct solution would be `line.encode(someencoding)`. However, looking at `sendLine`, it's clear that the value of `someencoding` is not easily decided upon. Should it be UTF-8? ASCII with an error replacement policy? cp1252? Does it depend on the client, or the server, or the filesystem encoding, or a user preference?
RFC 3659 specifies UTF-8 as the default encoding. The Python 3 port of Twisted uses this (with the "surrogateescape" error handler).
Please say "My Python 3 port of Twisted". The work you're doing is appreciated, but it's also important to avoid confusing people into thinking that there is an official version of Twisted for Python 3. Twisted is what's hosted on <http://twistedmatrix.com/> (11.1 just released!) and is still limited to Python 2.4 - 2.7.
You're right. I've just added and bolded "unofficial" on https://bitbucket.org/pitrou/t3k/wiki/Home Regards Antoine.
