New submission from Antti Laine <antti.a.la...@iki.fi>: raw_decode on json.JSONDecoder does not handle leading whitespace. According to RFC 4627, section 2, whitespace can precede an object. With json.loads leading whitespace is handled just fine.
d = json.JSONDecoder() d.raw_decode(' {}') ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded Tested with versions 2.6.7, 2.7.3, 3.1.3 and 3.2.3 ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 165829 nosy: Antti Alien priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: JSONDecoder.raw_decode breaks on leading whitespace type: behavior versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15393> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
