* - Issue #719888: Updated tokenize to use a bytes API. generate_tokens has beenTrent Nelson2008-03-181-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | renamed tokenize and now works with bytes rather than strings. A new detect_encoding function has been added for determining source file encoding according to PEP-0263. Token sequences returned by tokenize always start with an ENCODING token which specifies the encoding used to decode the file. This token is used to encode the output of untokenize back to bytes. Credit goes to Michael "I'm-going-to-name-my-first-child-unittest" Foord from Resolver Systems for this work.
* - A new pickle protocol (protocol 3) is added with explicit supportGuido van Rossum2008-03-171-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | for bytes. This is the default protocol. It intentionally cannot be unpickled by Python 2.x. - When a pickle written by Python 2.x contains an (8-bit) str instance, this is now decoded to a (Unicode) str instance. The encoding used to do this defaults to ASCII, but can be overridden via two new keyword arguments to the Unpickler class. Previously this would create bytes instances, which is usually wrong: str instances are often used to pickle attribute names etc., and text is more common than binary data anyway.
