Package: python-licosmamo
Version: 1.0-2
Severity: normal
Hi,
I was glad to find that you already wrote some code to parse through a .newsrc
file in Python (saved me the hassle), but I found that it didn't work for some
.newsrc files that tin or slrn (I forget which client exactly) automatically
generated for me.
The problem is when I have a line with a ":" or "!", but no article numbers.
The "self.add(int(item))" line of the NewsrcSet.parse_and_add() function
will try to make an integer out of an empty string, which results in an
exception.
Here's a quick fix:
def parse_and_add(self, line):
"""Parse textual output and add the integers to the set"""
for item in [item.strip() for item in line.split(",")]:
if "-" in item:
(a, b) = item.split("-")
self.add_range(int(a), int(b))
elif item != "":
self.add(int(item))
That just changes the "else" to an "elif" clause, but I'll leave it to you to
decide on what's satisfyingly robust. In the meantime, I'll just subclass
Newsrc and override parse_and_add().
Regards,
Sukant Hajra
