New submission from Dino Viehland <dinoviehl...@gmail.com>:
symtable is useful when combined with compile() to AST to understand what the names bind to. But symtable.symtable() doesn't accept a bytes object, while compile does. Ultimately these feed down to the same API, and could easily lead to subtle mismatches due to encodings. The workaround seems to be to use the tokenize.detect_encoding to discover the encoding and then do the encoding from Python, but this seems wasteful. ---------- assignee: dino.viehland components: Library (Lib) messages: 343096 nosy: dino.viehland priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: symtable.symtable doesn't accept bytes which leads to a mismatch from compile() versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37001> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
