Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment: $ ./python Python 2.7.2+ (2.7:27ae7d4e1983+, Oct 23 2011, 00:09:06) [GCC 4.6.1] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import shlex >>> shlex.split(u'Hello, World!') ['Hello,', 'World!']
This bug was fixed indirectly by a StringIO fix in 27ae7d4e1983, for #1548891. BTW, this report was a duplicate of #6988, closed a year ago. Python 2.7.3 will finally support unicode in shlex, so the doc change requested in this report is outdated. However, I still want to do something for this. I’ve noticed that shlex.split’s argument can be a file-like object, and I wonder if passing a StringIO.StringIO(my_unicode_string) wouldn’t work. If such a short recipe works, I’m all for including it in the 2.7 docs for users of older versions. If a longer recipe is needed, then ActiveState’s Python Cookbook would be more appropriate, and I’ll add a link to the docs. If it’s very long and requires a PyPI project, then I’m willing to link to that. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1170> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
