Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Parser/Compiler Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Wai Yip Tung (tungwaiyip) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Problem parsing cmdline parameter quoted with a trailing \ Initial Comment: This problem happens in launching Python from Windows. A quoted pathname is used as parameter. If and only if the pathname is ended with a trailing \, it is treated as an escape character. p.py ------------------------------------------------------- import sys from pprint import pprint pprint(sys.argv) ------------------------------------------------------- Note slash inside the quote is treated as path separators g:\usr\bin>c:\python24\python.exe g:\usr\bin\p.py " tung\wai\yip" wai ['g:\\usr\\bin\\p.py', 'tung\\wai\\yip', 'wai'] However the trailing \ is treated as an escape character for the quote. Only command line parameter is presented in sys.argv. g:\usr\bin>c:\python24\python.exe g:\usr\bin\p.py " tung\wai\yip\" wai ['g:\\usr\\bin\\p.py', 'tung\\wai\\yip" wai'] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: splitscreen (splitscreen) Date: 2006-02-22 20:38 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1126061 Whoops, my bad. Its a windows issue, not a python one. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: splitscreen (splitscreen) Date: 2006-02-22 20:34 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1126061 After having a quick look it appears as though python is in fact stripping the trailing '\'. the argv array that the python interpreter is passed contains the backslash so it must be doing away with it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Georg Brandl (gbrandl) Date: 2006-02-22 20:12 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=849994 Is that Python-specific? I thought sys.argv is the cmdline args as Python gets them from Windows. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1436900&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
