Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.3 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Submitted By: Dieter Maurer (dmaurer) >Assigned to: Fred L. Drake, Jr. (fdrake) Summary: xmlrpclib: wrong decoding in '_stringify' Initial Comment: '_stringify' tries to convert a unicode string into a pure ascii string by 'str(string)'. This can lead to catastrophic behaviour when Python's "defaultencoding" is not "ascii". The attached patch uses "string.encode('ascii')" instead to become independent of the default encoding. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Fred L. Drake, Jr. (fdrake) Date: 2005-02-11 13:06 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=3066 Fixed for Python 2.4.1 and 2.5: Lib/xmlrpclib.py 1.36.2.1, 1.40 Lib/test/test_xmlrpc.py 1.5.4.1, 1.7 I committed the attached patch and added a unit test. Python 2.3 got left out since this doesn't seem critical enough to destabilize old applications. I won't strongly object if someone backports it to 2.3.6, if they actually think there's going to be a 2.3.6. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1115989&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
