Category: Python Library Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Jonathan Perez (jbperez808) >Assigned to: A.M. Kuchling (akuchling) Summary: mailbox._Subfile readline() bug Initial Comment: mailbox._Subfile's readline() will chop off the first character of the next line when reading Unix-style terminated files. It's surprising no one has mentioned this before. The problem lies in line mailbox._Subfile.readline() itself where self.pos is assigned self.fp.tell()'s value. You will need to subtract 1 from self.pos if a file uses unix-style termination. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jonathan Perez (jbperez808) Date: 2003-10-06 09:33 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=286435 There doesn't seem to be a clean way to fix the code. But there is a rather satisfactory workaround: Open the mbox file in binary mode for Unix (and Mac?) style terminated files. This should DEFINITELY be mentioned in the mailbox module docs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=818065&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
