New submission from Ulrich Dorsch: TypeError: startswith first arg must be str or a tuple of str, not bytes
In line 558 of plistlib.py at the beginnging of "def _is_fmt_xml(header)" is the problem, caused by the use of the byte arguments defined in line 555 (prefixes = (b'<?xml', b'<plist')). Similar Problem in line 572: header.startswith(bom). bom is of type bytes. FIX: change the definition to: line 555: prefixes = ('<?xml', '<plist') line 572: header.startswith(str(bom)) Remaining problem is: TypeError: read() did not return a bytes object (type=str) This occurs in the parser object generated by ParserCreate() from xml.parsers.expat I stopped there with tracing / resolving the problem. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 235828 nosy: Ulrich.Dorsch priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: plistlib and xml.parsers.expat python3 problems with strings and bytes type: crash versions: Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23454> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
