Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Library (Lib) Group: Python 2.6 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Chad Whitacre (whit537) Assigned to: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Summary: Support for case-insensitivity in string.Template Initial Comment: Python's $-style templating is wired for optional case-insensitivity under the hood, but doesn't expose this via the API. The attached patch (against trunk/ r50813) adds a new optional argument to turn this behavior on, and includes doc and tests. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Chad Whitacre (whit537) Date: 2006-08-01 10:07 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=340931 Ok, here it is! I added a test but wasn't sure this warranted a doc change. Cf.: http://docs.python.org/dev/lib/node40.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Barry A.

The problem is kws: you can't customize it from the outside like you can the mapping argument. If we replaced _multimap with mapping.update(kws), then we'd have our hook and I think I'd be satisfied. Would you be any more psyched about that patch? :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2006-07-31 23:56 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 I'm not psyched about the patch. First, I've always thought that case insensitivity ought to be handled by the mapping from which the keys are being extracted and by setting the idpattern. Second, I definitely don't like adding the case_sensitive argument to substitute() and safe_substitute(). Because it lives in the same namespace as kws it makes for icky rules on resolving any conflicts. Is there a reason why the existing mechanisms are insufficient? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Raymond Hettinger (rhettinger) Date: 2006-07-31 19:12 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=80475 Barry, is this something you want or is it at odds with the notion of "simplified templating"? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Georg Brandl (gbrandl) Date: 2006-07-31 18:32 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=849994 The patch looks very thorough and complete, I will try to look into it after 2.5 is out. Don't let that prevent you reviewing 5 patches, Chad ;-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Chad Whitacre (whit537) Date: 2006-07-31 14:35 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=340931 (BTW, new patch is against trunk/ r51008) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Chad Whitacre (whit537) Date: 2006-07-31 14:13 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=340931 I've replaced the patch with one that polishes off a few bugs and ambiguities, with accompanying tests and doc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Chad Whitacre (whit537) Date: 2006-07-26 15:50 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=340931 Warning: I've discovered that I introduced a bug.
