[New-bugs-announce] [issue9283] buggy repr for os.environ

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr>:

os.environ has the same repr as os.environb, that is, it looks as though it's a mapping of bytes to bytes, while it's a mapping of str to str.

>>> repr(os.environ)[:50]
"environ({b'TMP': b'/tmp/', b'XAUTHORITY': b'/var/r"
>>> repr(os.environb)[:50]
"environ({b'TMP': b'/tmp/', b'XAUTHORITY': b'/var/r"
