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: Macintosh Group: Python 3000 Status: Closed Resolution: Accepted Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Jeffrey Yasskin (jyasskin) Assigned to: Guido van Rossum (gvanrossum) Summary: struni: Fix test_aepack by converting 4cc's to bytes Initial Comment: Also includes a simple fix for test_applesingle. The core of this fix is to change Python/mactoolboxglue.c:PyMac_BuildOSType(OSType) to return a bytes object instead of a str8, and then to go through the python code and change the four-character-codes to bytes. This hits a snag when they're used as dictionary keys, since bytes isn't hashable, so a hacky little b2i() function converts them to ints first. b2i() should go away when someone writes the general bytes/int conversion api. This is discussed some at http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-3000/2007-July/008935.html. If Talin's and Ronald's preference from that thread is taken, then PyMac_BuildOSType should return their new type instead. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Jeffrey Yasskin (jyasskin) Date: 2007-07-27 06:19 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=581856 Originator: YES But I like black'n'white files. ;) I've attached a patch changing b2i to str for using 4CCs in dicts. Since this file, at least, never needs to convert back, nothing's ambiguous about it, and I do like the idea of being able to read these while debugging. The test still passes.
