Larry Hastings <la...@hastings.org> added the comment: I guess the answer was "no".
Attached is a new diff as you suggest. It isn't really any shorter--in fact it's about 20% longer. Though I freely admit it is more written-in-Python-y. The test currently passes. If you add support for a new format unit (like add "case '8':" above "case 'H':" in convertsimple()) without adding the corresponding case to simpleitem(), it fails. If you perform the same operation on simpleitem() but not to convertsimple(), it again fails. So I assert the test is working 100% correctly. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file25840/larry.test_skipitem_parity.2.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14769> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
