Hi All,
I have been investing some 'tokenize' bugs recently. As a part of
that investigation I was trying to use '-m tokenize', which works
great in 2.x:
[meadori@motherbrain cpython]$ python2.7 -m tokenize test.py
1,0-1,5: NAME 'print'
1,6-1,21: STRING '"Hello, World!"'
1,21-1,22: NEWLINE '\n'
2,0-2,0: ENDMARKER ''
In 3.x, however, the functionality has been removed and replaced with
some hard-wired test code:
[meadori@motherbrain cpython]$ python3 -m tokenize test.py
TokenInfo(type=57 (ENCODING), string='utf-8', start=(0, 0), end=(0, 0), line='')
TokenInfo(type=1 (NAME), string='def', start=(1, 0), end=(1, 3),
line='def parseline(self, line):')
TokenInfo(type=1 (NAME), string='parseline', start=(1, 4), end=(1,
13), line='def parseline(self, line):')
TokenInfo(type=53 (OP), string='(', start=(1, 13), end=(1, 14),
line='def parseline(self, line):')
...
Why is this? I found the commit where the functionality was removed
[1], but no explanation. Any objection to adding this feature back?
