[issue5373] TypeError when '\x00' in docstring
Alexandre Vassalotti alexan...@peadrop.com added the comment: The motivation behind the restriction was to prevent the tp_doc member to get truncated. Since tp_doc is a C string, it cannot contains embeded null bytes. However, it seems tp_doc is not used at all for heap types. So, I don't mind lifting the restriction. ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue5373 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment: The bug is the discrepancy between doc [3] A string literal appearing as the first statement in the function body is transformed into the function’s __doc__ attribute and therefore the function’s docstring. [4] A string literal appearing as the first statement in the class body is transformed into the namespace’s __doc__ item and therefore the class’s docstring. and behavior. In this case, I would agree that the behavior is wrong unless somehow justified. I verified in 3.0.1, winxp: '\x00' ok in function, not in class. -- nosy: +tjreedy ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue5373 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Georg Brandl ge...@python.org added the comment: Well, that per se is not an indication that it is not a valid change in 3.0. However, I can see no good reason to disallow null-bytes in class docstrings (especially since they're still allowed in function docstrings).
