nathaniel gentile 441dc369ba py3 compatibility: convert bytes to str (#33206) ... Fixes #31723 In python3, ansible's fetch_url utility function wraps urllib.request.urlopen. For HTTP and HTTPS URLs, this function returns a http.client.HTTPResponse object slightly modified. Calling .read() on an HTTPResponse object returns bytes (note the docstring fix). Here, to_native is used to convert the bytestrings returned by fetch_url into unicode strings. This is necessary because: 1. Pre python3.6, json.loads requires passing a string, not a bytestring, as its argument 2. In python3 generally, testing if a string is a substring of a bytestring using the 'in' operator will raise a TypeError see: - https://docs.python.org/3/library/urllib.request.html#urllib.request.urlopen - https://docs.python.org/3/library/http.client.html#http.client.HTTPResponse.read - https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html#json.loads		2017-12-15 16:17:15 -06:00
