And some WSGI environments seem to enforce this (mod_wsgi does). This commit universally casts bytearray instances to bytes to appease the WSGI specification. I found this because wireprotov2 is emitting bytearray instances. I'd like to keep things that way because the way it builds a data structure, bytearray is more efficient. I'd rather keep the low-level code efficient (and using bytearray) and cast at the edges than impose a performance penalty on code that may run outside WSGI contexts. diff -r 5b530d767e67 -r 6107d4549fcc mercurial/hgweb/request.py --- a/mercurial/hgweb/request.py Thu Nov 08 20:04:07 2018 -0500 +++ b/mercurial/hgweb/request.py Fri Nov 09 23:49:39 2018 +0000 @@ -540,6 +540,12 @@ yield self._bodybytes elif self._bodygen: for chunk in self._bodygen: + # PEP-3333 says that output must be bytes.
