Things keep getting odder and odder with this text parsing. match_suffix.get_text(end) returns u'NNNNNN', where 'NNNNNN' is the bug number, but when the string is appended to the url_prefix, the 'u' appears in the first position of the array. Both cases the 'u' is unquoted:
[ DEBUG:UpdateManager.Util.procesinfo] url_prefix is 'http://bugs.debian.org/' [ DEBUG:UpdateManager.Util.procesinfo] match_suffix = <GtkTextIter at 0xa620018> match_end = <GtkTextIter at 0xa620050> [ DEBUG:UpdateManager.Util.procesinfo] match_suffix.get_text(match_end) returned u'531668' <== u before bug # [ DEBUG:UpdateManager.Util.procesinfo] url after appending match_suffix.get_text is u'http://bugs.debian.org/531668' <== huh? Is the u some sort of attribute, for instance denoting underline? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
