This seems to return a bytes object in Python 3.3.0. I was expecting a
string. The documentation here:
http://docs.python.org/3/library/binascii.html#binascii.hexlify
also keeps me expecting a string. Am I missing something?
Example:
[hg/css-venti-bytes+utf8]fleet*2> python3
Python 3.3.0 (default, Nov 11 2012, 08:47:42)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple Clang 4.0 ((tags/Apple/clang-421.0.60))]
on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import binascii
>>> binascii.hexlify(b'abc')
b'616263'
>>>
I'm on a Mac but am hoping that is irrelevant.
Cheers,
