Message140482
The difference between 2.6 and 2.7 stems from the rewrite of the IO library in C that was made for 2.7
The error Terry sees gets thrown here (in Modules/_io/stringio.c):
if (!PyUnicode_Check(obj)) {
PyErr_Format(PyExc_TypeError, "string argument expected, got '%s'",
Py_TYPE(obj)->tp_name);
return NULL;
}
Therefore, I propose to change this error message to:
"unicode argument expected, got '%s'"
as Terry suggested.
Adding Antoine, Benjamin and Daniel (listed as experts on IO) to nosy.
Is there an objection to making this change in the error message? |
