[New-bugs-announce] [issue13297] xmlrpc.client could accept bytes for input and output

[Florent Xicluna]

New submission from Florent Xicluna <florent.xicluna at gmail.com>:

Since Python 3 makes clear the distinction between bytes and string, there is no more reason to use the xmlrpc.client.Binary wrapper for binary objects.

The xmlrpc library may deal with bytes and bytearray normally.
To support backward compatibility, the ServerProxy will have a keyword argument "use_bytes" similar to the "use_datetime" from issue #1120353.
