New submission from Matthew Gamble <mgam...@fontis.com.au>:
The output of the following invocations are exactly the same: list(shlex.shlex('a ; b', posix=True, punctuation_chars=True)) list(shlex.shlex('a \; b', posix=True, punctuation_chars=True)) They both output the following: ['a', ';', 'b'] This makes it impossible to determine when the user wanted to escape the semi-colon for some reason, such as if they were using find's `-exec` argument. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 342276 nosy: Matthew Gamble priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: shlex doesn't differentiate escaped characters in output type: behavior versions: Python 3.6, Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36897> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
