[New-bugs-announce] [issue1392] py3k-pep3137: str(bytes()) and str(buffer()) should raise TypeError patch

[Christian Heimes]

New submission from Christian Heimes:

str(bytes()) == repr(bytes()) and str(buffer()) == repr(buffer()) is
causing a bunch bugs which are extremely hard to understand. On several
occasions I didn't understand the problem until I removed a str() call
or made str(bytes()) and str(buffer()) raise an exception.
