New submission from Kristján Valur Jónsson <[email protected]>:
The repr for fileobjects is inconsistent. On windows:
f = file("tmp\\foo", "wb")
f
<open file 'tmp\foo', mode 'wb' at ...>
f = file(u"tmp\\foo", "wb")
f
<open file u'tmp\\foo', mode 'wb' at ...>
For unicode, the filename is a proper "repr", but for a string it is
just the plain string, enclosed in single quotes. Note that I consider
the string case in error. Like the repr of a list or tuple, it should
be a string containin the repr of its components.
This leads to problems in the testsuite on vista.
I propose to change this with the patch provided, which always displays
the repr of the filename. It may have side effects in the testsuite, I
will add a separate file for that.
