[issue6780] startswith error message is incomplete
Ezio Melotti ezio.melo...@gmail.com added the comment: In the examples you used byte strings for Py2 and Unicode strings for Py3. On Py3 the same example with byte strings gives an error similar to the one raised by Py2: bfoo.startswith([bfo]) Traceback (most recent call last): File stdin, line 1, in module TypeError: expected an object with the buffer interface (vs. Py2's expected a character buffer object) The error raised by Py2 with Unicode strings is more or less the same of Py3 too: ufoo.startswith([ufo, udf]) Traceback (most recent call last): File stdin, line 1, in module TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, list found (vs. Py3's Can't convert 'list' object to str implicitly) If I understood correctly the C code in /Objects/unicodeobject.c, this is because startswith checks if the 'prefix' is a tuple and, if not, it assumes that is a Unicode string. The 'prefix' is then converted to Unicode by PyUnicode_FromObject and if it's a list or some other object the error Can't convert 'list' object to str implicitly / coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, list found is raised. I agree that a more explicit error message would be better, something like: 'prefix' must be a character buffer object or a tuple, not 'list'. Aside: why not try to convert 'list' object to tuple? If the support for lists is added, it should probably be extended to all the iterables, but strings are iterables too, so that will create some problem. It could be checked if 'prefix' is a string and if not assume that is an iterable of strings, but I don't know if it's worth doing it. -- components: +Interpreter Core -Library (Lib) nosy: +ezio.melotti priority: - normal ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue6780 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue6782] Scoping of variables in closures
New submission from victor bitto...@uwp.edu: I can't tell if this is feature or a bug but either way this behavior struck me as strange. def func(): x = 5 def inc(): temp = x + 1 # when inc() is execute, this line fails x = temp return x return inc i = func() i() # will raise error It says that x referenced before defined (when computing x + 1). It seems that the fact that x is assigned in the local inc() that it shadows the outer x. Even stranger is that if you remove the the assignment of x = temp there is no error; suggesting the assignment to x anywhere in the inner function shadows the entire function. This is not the expected behavior, so I thought it may be bug. -- components: Interpreter Core messages: 91954 nosy: bitfort severity: normal status: open title: Scoping of variables in closures type: behavior versions: Python 2.6 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue6782 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue6783] Add a builtin method to 'int' for base/radix conversion
New submission from Yuv Gre ubershme...@gmail.com: In javascript and java each number has a toString method which allows for easy string representation in different bases. If the function int(x[, base]) exists as a builtin, the inverse should at least be somewhere in the standard library. Personally I believe a to_string method would work but would defeat There should be one way to do it. Perhaps a method called radix or base_convert which requires a base to convert parameter won't take the place of str(number).

[issue6759] zipfile.ZipExtFile.read() is missing universal newline support
Ryan Leslie ryle...@gmail.com added the comment: Hi Art, Thanks for working on this. I've taken a look at the patch. The fix to read_test looks correct. Of course, I would consider a more descriptive variable name than 'b'. The changes to read() are an improvement, but I think we need to be careful when we replace \r\n with \n. Basically, we've turned two characters into one and are now potentially one character short of 'size' bytes. This doesn't match the behavior of file.read(). Another thing to work out is the lack of the 'newlines' attribute, discussed in PEP 278. I've noted that bz2 seems to do a pretty good job with universal newline handling: python/trunk/Modules/bz2module.c. It's in C, however, and I don't think there's actually anything in the library doing UL in pure Python. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue6759 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
