Request and response default charset

[Rodrigo Alves Lima]

Hi,

I'm developing a lightweight framework based on WebOb request and response objects for learning purpose (another!) and I'm facing some problems with charset configuration in Python 3.

May I assume that 'GET', 'POST', 'cookies' and 'headers' keys and values are unicode by default (class 'str' in Python 3)?

I've looked at the code but it's still not clear to me. According to the documentation, submissions are non-unicode strings and you should force a charset (>>> req.charset = 'utf-8') but even on requests that charset is set to None, attributes are encoded in UTF-8. The 'body' attribute is not unicode, instead.

In webob 1.2+ the request object always uses utf-8 and if you want to change the charset you must decode that request into a new request object via req.decode(..), and yes these values will always be unicode and raise exceptions when other types are expected. For example, request.body is bytes, but request.text is unicode. The response object is similar except that you may specify the charset in the constructor.
