We are running into something that is arguably a bug in PyQt (4.8.3 in our
case).
During startup, "PyQt4/uic/port_v*/load_plugin.py" exec's Python code loaded
out of a series of text files. Those files are opened in
"PyQt4/uic/objcreator.py", line 91. The file open call doesn't specify a mode,
so it defaults to 'r'.
The issue we're seeing is under OSX, but would apply to Linux as well. We have
a copy of PyQt for OSX in source control being exported to disk from a Windows
machine. When this happens, the py files are being given Windows line endings
(CR/LF). Later, when this copy of PyQt starts under OSX, load_plugin.py's exec
dies due to syntax errors in the file buffers it's being passed (the CR/LF's
aren't translated to native line endings).
The fix we made is to change objcreator.py to open files with universal line
ending support. e.g. change line 91 from this:
if load_plugin(open(filename), plugin_globals, plugin_locals):
...to this:
if load_plugin(open(filename, 'rU'), plugin_globals, plugin_locals):
I'm not sure there's any negative fallout from this. Thoughts?
