There was no way to pass an already-encoded string to `builder.CreateString` in Python 2.7: - Passing a `bytearray` raised a TypeError because `bytearray` was not recognized as an instance of `compat.binary_type`. - Passing a utf-8 encoded `str` would cause the string to be double-encoded, because `compat.string_types = (basestring,)` and `basestring` is the base class of `str` and `unicode`, so the logic would never reach the `elif isinstance(s, compat.binary_type)` case. - Converting a utf-8 encoded bytearray to `bytes` like `builder.CreateString(bytes(encoded_string))` does not work because in Python 2.7, bytes is just an alias for `str` so it behaves as above. This change allows either `bytes` or `bytearray` as an already-encoded string to be passed to `CreateString` in versions of Python that support `bytearray`, and falls back to `str` in older versions. In Python 2, it restricts unencoded string types to `unicode`, so `str` can be used as an encoded, binary representaiton. |
