Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment: Sure, but what does that have to do with anything? tokenize isn't a general purpose tokenizer, it's specifically for tokenizing Python source code.
The *problem* is that it doesn't currently fully tokenize everything, but doesn't explicitly say that in the module documentation. Hence my proposed two-fold fix: document the current behaviour explicitly and also add a separate "exact_type" attribute for easy access to the detailed tokenization without doing your own string comparisons. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2134> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
