New submission from Serhiy Storchaka: b32decode() documentation says: "A TypeError is raised if s were incorrectly padded or if there are non-alphabet characters present in the string."
b32decode() docstring says: "binascii.Error is raised if the input is incorrectly padded or if there are non-alphabet characters present in the input." Actually binascii.Error (which is a ValueError subtype) is raised if the input is incorrectly padded and TypeError is raised if there are non-alphabet characters present in the input. At least 2 of 3 (documentation, docstring and implementation) should be corrected. Base32 support was originally added in 3cc0d8fd4e2b (TypeError was used everywhere) and then modified in eb45f85c4c79 (TypeError was partially changed to binascii.Error). ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation, Library (Lib) messages: 189571 nosy: barry, docs@python, gvanrossum, serhiy.storchaka priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Inconsistency between b32decode() documentation, docstring and code type: behavior versions: Python 3.3, Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18011> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
