[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v7 05/39] qapi: Require ASCII in schema


From: Eric Blake
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v7 05/39] qapi: Require ASCII in schema
Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2015 07:06:20 -0600

Python 2 and Python 3 have a wild history of whether strings
default to ascii or unicode, where Python 3 requires checking
isinstance(foo, basestr) to cover all strings, but where that
code is not portable to Python 2.  It's simpler to just state
that we don't care about Unicode strings, and to just always
use the simpler isinstance(foo, str) everywhere.

I'm no python expert, so I'm basing it on this conversation:
