anatoly techtonik added the comment: Right. This report is about improving error message. It doesn't say what is expected where. If you have a call like:
os.fchmod(outfile, unixperm) it is easy to assume that unixperm is not integer, while in fact the problem is in outfile. This could not be actual for Python 3, but it seems that there is bug with it as well. >>> v = open("VERSION") >>> import os >>> os.fchmod(v, 0664) File "<stdin>", line 1 os.fchmod(v, 0664) ^ SyntaxError: invalid token >>> ---------- assignee: -> docs@python components: +Documentation resolution: invalid -> status: closed -> open versions: +Python 2.7, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18269> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
