Yes, the faq entry has example code like
"value = unicode(value, "utf-8")"
This whole section now applies when 'value' is a bytes or bytearray object and one calls str(value).
For portability, one should in 2.6/7 use unicode strings as much as possible and the bytes and unicode functions but not the str function. Then 2to3.py will change 'unicode' to 'str'. This should be a separate FAQ entry (if not already), for both 2.x and 3.x, with more complete advice from MLV (from whom I am parroting the above). |
