New submission from Alastair Porter: Passing a unicode filename to aifc.open() results in the argument being treated like a filepointer instead of opening the file.
The argument check, http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/default/Lib/aifc.py#l332 only checks if the argument is a str. Should this be extended to accept all string-type objects? Example usage: >>> import aifc >>> aifc.open(u"/some/path") Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/aifc.py", line 924, in open return Aifc_read(f) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/aifc.py", line 335, in __init__ self.initfp(f) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/aifc.py", line 286, in initfp chunk = Chunk(file) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/chunk.py", line 61, in __init__ self.chunkname = file.read(4) AttributeError: 'unicode' object has no attribute 'read' ---------- components: None messages: 169673 nosy: alastairp priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: aifc.open expects only str or file pointer type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15843> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
