Message3778

When trying to create a PyFile from a java.io.InputStream, a TypeError
is created. The following snippet illustrates

# filebug.py -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
from java.io import FileInputStream
from org.python.core import PyFile

fis = FileInputStream("error.txt")
pyf = PyFile(fis)
#-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Which outputs 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "filebug.py", line 7, in <module>
    pyf = PyFile(fis)
TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string, 'javainstance' type found

This bug was introduced sometime between 2.5a3 and 2.5b0.

It was reported by two different modjy users.
