New submission from Mark Wood: netrc.netrc() throws a NetrcParseError if ~/.netrc contains an entry witout a 'password' field. Other users of .netrc do not do this. In my case, I have entries for sftp hosts which will use public-key authentication instead of a password.
What I would suggest is that if any or all of 'login', 'account', and 'password' are omitted, simply accept that and store a 0-length string. Someone on StackOverflow says he has rewritten netrc to fix various problems but doesn't know how to contribute it. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28754547/python-netrc-error-on-file-with-comment ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 281567 nosy: Mark Wood priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: netrc throws NetrcParseError for record without 'password' type: behavior versions: Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28780> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
