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: Core (C code) Group: Python 2.5 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Rejected Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Jp Calderone (kuran) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: ast branch changed interactive module name Initial Comment: Python 2.4 displays tracebacks interactively like this: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero Python 2.5b1 displays them like this: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero This doesn't seem likely a particularly good change and it breaks tests which rely on the particular spelling of this message. I probably wouldn't mind the change if it were to a more useful string than "<module>", but "?" seemed better than the current state. If anything is /not/ a module, it's an interactive session with the interpreter. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Collin Winter (collinwinter) Date: 2007-03-08 13:19 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1344176 Originator: NO 1) An interpreter session is essentially a module that the user types in, one statement at a time. 2) "?" tells me considerably less about where the error occurred than does "<module>". "?" could mean anything. 3) Since Python 2.5 has already been released with the objected-to behavior, I'd say it's incredibly unlikely that this change will be reverted. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=1512007&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Patches mailing list Patches@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/patches
