[New-bugs-announce] [issue17478] Tkinter's split() inconsistent for bytes and unicode strings

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka:

Tkinter's split() recursive splits bytes but not unicode strings.

>>> from tkinter import *
>>> t = Tcl()
>>> t.tk.split((b'a 2',))
(('a', '2'),)
>>> t.tk.split(('a 2',))
('a 2',)
