Category: Library (Lib) Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Guido van Rossum (gvanrossum) Assigned to: M.-A. Lemburg (lemburg) Summary: restrict codec lookup to encodings package Initial Comment: Here's a fix for the problem recently mentioned on python-dev, where encoding names are looked up everywhere instead of just in the encodings package. It was slightly more work than I anticipated because there was a unit test that depended on the broken behavior. I've fixed the unittest with a hack that temporarily extends the encodings package's __path__ with sys.path, so that the test package will appear as a subpackage of the encodings package. That's not very clean; an alternative would be to patch sys.modules (but then less of the codec import machinery is exercised by the unit test) or to move the test codec to the encodings package (but that places some test code in a production package). What would you prefer? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=1433198&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Patches mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/patches
