[New-bugs-announce] [issue14889] PyBytes_FromObject(bytes_object) fails

[Larry Hastings]

New submission from Larry Hastings <larry at hastings.org>:

If you pass a valid PyUnicodeObject into PyUnicode_AsObject(), it incref's the original object and returns it.

If you pass a valid PyBytesObject into PyBytes_AsObject()... it fails.

I assert that in the PyBytes_AsObject() should behave like PyUnicode_AsObject() when faced with an identity transformation.

(Brett: I tagged you because I saw your name in the comments, so I figured you were a good candidate.)
