[docs] [issue19910] Document that compile() source may be bytes

Guido van Rossum report at bugs.python.org
Fri Dec 6 17:12:46 CET 2013


New submission from Guido van Rossum:

compile() takes a string, bytes or AST as the "source" argument.  The bytes option are not documented except in the error message you get when you pass something else.  The AST option is in the library docs but not in the function docstring.
