After updating Twisted to 12.3.0 I started getting errors like the following one<br>
<br>
2013-01-17 14:38:23+0100 [-] File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/twisted/names/common.py", line 93, in lookupAddress<br>

2013-01-17 14:38:23+0100 [-] TypeError: u'<a href="http://example.com" target="_blank">example.com</a>' is not a byte string<br>
<br>
Taking a look at documentation I found this document<br>
<br>
<a href="http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/core/howto/python3.html" target="_blank">http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/core/howto/python3.html</a><br>
<br>
which states<br>
<br>
"twisted.names.dns deals with strings with a wide range of meanings,<br>
often several for each DNS record type. Most of these strings have<br>
remained as byte strings, which will probably require application<br>
updates (for the reason given in the FilePath section above). Some<br>
strings have changed to text strings, though. Any string representing a<br>
human readable address (for example, Record_A's address parameter) is<br>
now a text string. Additionally, time-to-live (ttl) values given as<br>
strings must now be given as text strings."<br>
<br>
which seems to describe the problem I'm experiencing.<br>
<br>
But let me say that I'm currently using Python 2.7.3 and I was surprised in realizing<br>
that a simple update from a minor 12.x release was enough to disrupt my application.<br>
<br>
Don't you think that a kind of compatibility mechanism (maybe with a warning message)<br>
would have been a more gentle way of doing this transition especially for those who<br>
are still using Python 2?<br>
<br>
Thanks and regards,<br>
