What C function are you referring to?

Well, one is a just empty list and the other a list of strings. I don't see
why converting a empty list to bytes should raise an error. Although I agree
the type check is a bit out of place, I think it will help prevents bugs.
In addition, PyBytes_FromObject() is documented as equivalent to the
built-in
bytes(). Since calling bytes() with any unicode string raises a TypeError
exception, unless an encoding is specified, I believe PyBytes_FromObject()
should also follow this convention. |
