Resolves: #24479

python-server.py currently uses sys.stdin.read for reading the input, and it receives the length in str (utf-8 string).
ref: https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html

On the other "Content-Length" is the size in bytes, therefore we should not pass content_length to sys.stdin.read. For example, print("こんにちは世界")'s length is 16 in str, but 30 in bytes.

>>> len('print("こんにちは世界")')
16
>>> len('print("こんにちは世界")'.encode())
30

This PR have two changes.

  1. Replace sys.stdin.read(content_length) with sys.stdin.buffer.read(content_length).decode().
  2. Make _send_message calculate "Content-Length" from bytes, not str.

By these changes, original issue #24479 can be resolved.

…ters.

Content-Length is the data in bytes, not len of str. We should use sys.stdin.buffer.read instead of sys.stdin.read to receive bytes.

_send_message should calculate "Content-Length" from bytes, not str.
We should use stdin.buffer.readline instead of stdin.readline because stdin.read* and stdin.buffer.read* should be used at the same time.  (stdin.read* refers the internal buffer)
