Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.2.3 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Kirill A Kryloff (hacocuk) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: skipitem() in getargs.c missing some types Initial Comment: python 2.2.3 looks like skipitem in getargs.c is missing some types 'k' for example ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Craig Ringer (ringerc) Date: 2005-07-12 03:08 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=639504 It matters all right. Just wasted a bunch of time tracking this down into the Python sources and confirming it was a Python bug. It's really nasty for 'es'. This will cause bizarre errors for PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords(...) calls using the unsupported format strings after the | optional argument barrier. The errors will always contain the string: impossible<bad format char> The error will, of course, only turn up if the user omits one or more of the arguments with unsupported formats. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Petr Vaněk (subik) Date: 2005-07-12 03:06 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=784012 this bug is still presented in later versions 2.3, 2.4. We have real problem with it (see. http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=2018). Broken PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords in skipitem() (getargs.c) causes "impossible<bad format char>" exception by missing case conditions. I would like to please developers for fixing (or we will be forced to provide a patch (which will force us to know Python guts (etc.))). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Reinhold Birkenfeld (birkenfeld) Date: 2005-06-01 20:10 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1188172 The missing types are u, u#, es, es#, et, et#, k, K, I, U, t#, w, w# and maybe (...) I don't know whether this is of any significance though. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=893549&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
