25 # Sometimes in PY3 we have variables whose content can be 'bytes' or
26 # 'str' and we can't be sure which. Generally this is because the
27 # code variable can be initialised (or reassigned) a value from different
28 # api(s) or functions depending on complex conditions or logic. Or another
29 # common case is in PY2 the variable is 'type <str>' and in PY3 it is
30 # 'class <str>' and the function to use e.g. b64encode requires 'bytes'
31 # in PY3. In such cases it would be nice to avoid excessive testing in
32 # the client code. Calling such a helper function should be avoided
33 # if possible but sometimes this just isn't possible.
34 # If a 'str' object is passed in it is encoded using 'utf8' or if 'bytes'
35 # is passed in it is returned unchanged.
36 # Using this function is PY2/PY3 code should ensure in most cases
37 # the PY2 code runs unchanged in PY2 whereas the code in PY3 possibly
38 # encodes the variable (see PY2 implementation of this function below)

66 the outcome. The return value is negative if x < y, zero if x == y
67 and strictly positive if x > y.
