[tahoe-dev] String encoding in tahoe

[zooko]

Dear Francois:

Thanks!  Your explanation makes good sense.  In order to make your  
fix work with util/base32, and to follow the advice that you quoted  
from Kumar McMillan, I will loosen the constraints of the util/base32  
code to allow base32-encoded inputs to be unicode.

I would prefer to have the constraint be more specific, and to allow  
*only* unicode and not str as the inputs to base32, but that seems  
like more trouble than it is worth at this point.

Regards,

Zooko
