Re: [Python-Dev] Stream codecs and _multibytecodec
On 4/21/06, Thomas Wouters [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: While merging the trunk changes into the p3yk branch, I discovered what I think is a bug in the stream codecs. It's easily reproduced in the trunk: in Lib/codecs.py, make the 'Codec' class new-style. Then, suddenly, test_codecs will crash with an exception like this: [snip] I'm not sure whether this attribute conflict is on purpose or not, but since it will break in the future, I suggest it gets fixed. It *looks* like renaming the _MultibyteStreamWriter attribute is the easiest solution, but I don't know which API has precedence. The readonly attribute stream of _MultibyteStreamWriter is exactly equivalent to codecs.StreamWriter's and it can't be removed to work correctly. I intended to override all methods of StreamWriters. The only reason why it inherits from codecs.StreamWriter is not to break isinstance(x, StreamWriter) checks and nothing from StreamWriter is used at all. I'll verify and fix it in p3yk branch soon.

[Python-Dev] Inconsistency in 2.4.3 for __repr__() returning unicode
We got an inconsistency for __repr__() returning unicode as reported in http://python.org/sf/1459029 : class s1: def __repr__(self): return '\\n' class s2: def __repr__(self): return u'\\n' print repr(s1()), repr(s2()) Until 2.4.2: \n \n 2.4.3: \n \\n \\n looks bit weird but it's correct. As once discussed[1] in python-dev before, if __repr__ returns unicode object, PyObject_Repr encodes it via unicode-escape codec. So, non-latin character also could be in repr neutrally. But our unicode-escape had a bug since when it is introduced. The bug was that it doesn't escape backslashes. Therefore, backslashes wasn't escaped in repr while it sholud be escaped because we used the unicode-escape codec. So, fixing the bug made a behavior inconsistency. How do we resolve the problem?

And both patches don't have things for documentations yet. (Of course, for due process, it would be better if this code gets integrated into the official ctypes first, and then we incorporate some named/versioned snapshot into /external, and svn cp it into python/trunk from there).
