twisted.internet._idna : API documentation

Shared interface to IDNA encoding and decoding, using the idna PyPI package if available, otherwise the stdlib implementation.

def _idnaBytes(text): (source)

Convert some text typed by a human into some ASCII bytes.

This is provided to allow us to use the partially-broken IDNA implementation in the standard library if the more-correct idna package is not available; service_identity is somewhat stricter about this.

Parameters	text	A domain name, hopefully. (type: `unicode`)
Returns	The domain name's IDNA representation, encoded as bytes. (type: `bytes`)

def _idnaText(octets): (source)

Convert some IDNA-encoded octets into some human-readable text.

Currently only used by the tests.

Parameters	octets	Some bytes representing a hostname. (type: `bytes`)
Returns	A human-readable domain name. (type: `unicode`)

Function	_idnaBytes	Convert some text typed by a human into some ASCII bytes.
Function	_idnaText	Convert some IDNA-encoded octets into some human-readable text.
