[New-bugs-announce] [issue11646] 2to3: msvcrt.(get|put)ch -> (get|put)wch

[anatoly techtonik]

New submission from anatoly techtonik <techtonik at gmail.com>:

msvcrt function calls need to be renamed to unicode equivalents, because now they return bytes, which doesn't support string methods used to process the output (e.g. lower()).

http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/msvcrt.html

msvcrt.getch() -> msvcrt.getwch()
msvcrt.getche() -> msvcrt.getwche()
msvcrt.putch() -> msvcrt.putwch()
msvcrt.ungetch() -> msvcrt.ungetwch()
