R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: IMO this is not a bug, according to the current documentation it is working as designed. raw_decode says it decodes a string that *starts with* a json document.
To my understanding, raw_decode is designed to be used when parsing a stream containing more than just one json document, including possibly non-json text, in which case it makes sense that the calling application would be responsible for (and want to) handle the whitespace around any such document. I recommend closing this as invalid. If the consensus is otherwise and a change is made, I think it would be an enhancement, not a bug fix. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15393> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
