In 3.0b1, several str methods have 'Unicode' in their docstrings
leftover from 2.x when str *was* unicode.
For
 center
 count
 ljust
 rjust
 translate
'Unicode' should be deleted before 'string'.
For 'translate', I presume 'Unicode ordinal' should be left as is as was
done for 'maketrans'.
For
 lstrip
 rstrip
 strip
"If chars is a str, it will be converted to unicode before stripping"
should be deleted. Bytes (which replace old str) and bytearrays are not
automatically converted.
Other fixes
For
 maketrans
the word 'then' should be removed from 'will then be' in the fourth line
since it only confuses. The conversion is the first and only thing done
in the one-argument case.
For
 lstrip
 rstrip
 strip
remove ', Unicode' from
"TypeError: <x>strip arg must be None, unicode or str"
For
 ljust
 rjust
"TypeError: The fill character cannot be converted to Unicode"
should be changed to
TypeError: The fill character cannot be implicitly converted to str"
or even, copying from several other method error messages
TypeError: Can't convert 'bytes' object to str implicitly"
or perhaps best would be
"TypeError: For the fill char, can't convert 'bytes' object to str
implicitly"
The other methods taking str args seem to have been updated already.
