[issue7415] PyUnicode_FromEncodedObject() uses PyObject_AsCharBuffer()

[Stefan Behnel]

Stefan Behnel <scoder at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

When I read the comments and exception texts in the function, it didn't occur to me that "char buffer" could have been used as a name for the old Py2 buffer interface. From the context, it totally makes sense to me that the function (which decodes a byte sequence into a unicode string) complains about not getting a "bytes object or char buffer" as input. Admittedly, this might sound slightly different when read in Python space.
