New submission from Hynek Schlawack <h...@ox.cx>: test_shutil contains a handy helper function called write_file(filename. contents). If *filename* is a tuple, os.path.join() is used to concatenate it to a path.
To be really useful, the resulting file name should be returned, so the user can work with it. So instead of: fn = os.path.join(x,y) write_file(fn, 'contents') I'd prefer: fn = write_file((x,y), 'contents') I have attached a simple patch that achieves this and also applied the resulting simplification to some of the tests. ---------- components: Tests files: write_file_returns_filename.diff keywords: patch messages: 142795 nosy: eric.araujo, hynek priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Make the write_file() helper function in test_shutil return the file name it wrote to type: feature request versions: Python 3.3 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file23014/write_file_returns_filename.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12824> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
