We need a bytes version for us. There was also a python bug/feature request which wanted then to implement one. They rejected and it is quoted in one of the comments that we can use fsencode() to get a bytes version of sys.argv. Though not sure about its correctness. Link to the comment: http://bugs.python.org/issue8776#msg217416 After this patch we will have pycompat.sysargv which will return us bytes version of sys.argv. If this patch goes in, i will like to make transformer rewrite sys.argv with pycompat.argv because there are lot of occurences. diff -r dadb00a0ec0f -r a2f2f694dce9 mercurial/pycompat.py --- a/mercurial/pycompat.py Sun Oct 09 09:00:47 2016 -0400 +++ b/mercurial/pycompat.py Sun Nov 06 04:36:26 2016 +0530 @@ -43,6 +43,7 @@ osname = os.name.encode('ascii') ospathsep = os.pathsep.encode('ascii') ossep = os.sep.encode('ascii') + sysargv = list(map(os.fsencode, sys.argv)) def sysstr(s): """Return a keyword str to be passed to Python functions such as @@ -91,6 +92,7 @@ osname = os.name ospathsep = os.pathsep ossep = os.sep + sysargv = sys.argv stringio = io.StringIO empty = _queue.Empty
