This module currently provides the following helper symbols:
|
|
|
|
* bytes (name of byte string type; str in 2.x, bytes in 3.x)
|
|
* b (function converting a string literal to an ASCII byte string;
|
|
can be also used to convert a Unicode string into a byte string)
|
|
* u_prefix (unicode repr prefix: 'u' in 2.x, '' in 3.x)
|
|
(Required in docutils/test/test_publisher.py)
|
|
* BytesIO (a StringIO class that works with bytestrings)
