py3kcompat: added fake ord implementation for py3k In py3k, a bytes object __getitem__ will return an int instead of a one-character bytes object. This has negative consequences when we want to ord(), like in the following example: >>> b'foo'[0] 102 >>> ord(b'foo'[0]) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: ord() expected string of length 1, but int found This patch overrides the default ord() implementation to just return an int that's what is passed as an argument for ord(). Making the above call succeed: >>> ord(b'foo'[0]) 102
