Description

Tool functions to support Python 2 and 3.

Inspired by six https://pythonhosted.org/six/

TODO: since it is now based on six, we should remove this module eventually.

Functions

is_basestring(s)	Return True for any string type (for str/unicode on Py2 and bytes/str on Py3).
is_bytes(s)	Return True for bytestrings (for str on Py2 and bytes on Py3).
is_native(s)	Return True for native strings (for str on Py2 and Py3).
is_unicode(s)	Return True for unicode strings (for unicode on Py2 and str on Py3).
to_bytes(s[, encoding])	Convert a text string (unicode) to bytestring (str on Py2 and bytes on Py3).
to_native(s[, encoding])	Convert data to native str type (bytestring on Py2 and unicode on Py3).
to_unicode(s[, encoding])	Convert binary data to unicode (text strings) on Python 2 and 3.
unicode_to_wsgi(u)	Convert an environment variable to a WSGI ‘bytes-as-unicode’ string.
wsgi_to_bytes(s)	Convert a native string to a WSGI / HTTP compatible byte string.
