[New-bugs-announce] [issue4874] decoding functions in _codecs module accept str arguments

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr>:

The following function calls should raise a TypeError instead. Encoding
functions are fine (they only accept str).

>>> import codecs
>>> codecs.utf_8_decode('aa')
('aa', 2)
>>> codecs.utf_8_decode('éé')
('éé', 4)
>>> codecs.latin_1_decode('éé')
('éé', 4)
