PyUnicode_FSDecoder() accepts not only str and bytes or bytes-like object, but arbitrary iterable, e.g. list. Example: >>> compile('', [116, 101, 115, 116], 'exec') <code object <module> at 0xb6fb1340, file "test", line 1> I think accepting arbitrary iterables is unintentional and weird behavior.

PyUnicode_FSDecoder() accepts not only str and bytes or bytes-like object, but arbitrary iterable, e.g. list.

>>> compile('', [116, 101, 115, 116], 'exec')

I think accepting arbitrary iterables is unintentional and weird behavior.
