Category: Parser/Compiler Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Christoph Zwerschke (cito) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Built-in compile function with PEP 0263 encoding bug Initial Comment: a = 'print "Hello, World"' u = '# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-\n' + a print compile(a, '<string>', 'exec') # ok print compile(u, '<string>', 'exec') # ok print compile(unicode(a), '<string>', 'exec') # ok print compile(unicode(u), '<string>', 'exec') # error # The last line gives a SystemError. # Think this is a bug. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Date: 2005-02-10 01:37 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=21627 There is a bug somewhere, certainly. However, I believe it is in PEP 263, which should point out that unicode strings in compile are only legal if they do *not* contain an encoding declaration, as such strings are implicitly encoded as UTF-8. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1115379&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
