=============
|
|
|
|
Do not use ``isinstance(s, basestring)`` as basestring has been removed in
|
|
Python3. You can import ``string_types``, ``binary_type``, or ``text_type``
|
|
from ``ansible.module_utils.six`` and then use ``isinstance(s, string_types)``
|
|
or ``isinstance(s, (binary_type, text_type))`` instead.
|
|
|
|
If this is part of code to convert a string to a particular type,
|
|
``ansible.module_utils.common.text.converters`` contains several functions
|
|
that may be even better for you: ``to_text``, ``to_bytes``, and ``to_native``.
