New issue 541 by [email protected]: Double decode in
google.protobuf.text_format._CUnescape
http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/issues/detail?id=541
What steps will reproduce the problem?
>>> print google.protobuf.text_format._CUnescape('\\x5c')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/google/protobuf/text_format.py",
line 691, in _CUnescape
return result.decode('string_escape')
ValueError: Trailing \ in string
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected output is a single backslash. _CUnescape works if the input
is instead given in octal:
>>> print google.protobuf.text_format._CUnescape('\\134')
\
When the input is given in hex the escaped backslash is unescaped _twice_,
once in the re.sub() and once in the str.decode().
I'm not using the trunk HEAD but I can see that the issue is still present.
