New submission from Terry J. Reedy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: WinXP, 3.0b2 >>>f=open('somefile', 'r') >>>f.readline(somefloat) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#70>", line 1, in <module> f.readline(1.0) File "C:\Program Files\Python30\lib\io.py", line 1766, in readline return line[:endpos] TypeError: slice indices must be integers or None or have an __index__ method
At this point, any f.read or f.readline calls fail with a similar TypeError. The error recovery seems incomplete. The same does *not* happen with f.read(float). Recovery is complete and subsequent f.read/f.readline calls work. In 2.5, float size arg worked with a deprecation warning, so issue does not arise. I presume same is true in 2.6. ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 70866 nosy: tjreedy severity: normal status: open title: file.readline: bad exception recovery type: behavior versions: Python 3.0 _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3521> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
