New submission from Greg Price <gnpr...@gmail.com>:
I spent some time yesterday on #18236, and I have a patch for it. Most of that work happens in the script Tools/unicode/makeunicode.py , and along the way I made several changes there that I found made it somewhat nicer to work on, and I think will help other people reading that script too. I'd like to try to merge those improvements first. The main changes are: * As the script has grown over the years, it's gained many copies and reimplementations of logic to parse the standard format of the Unicode character database. I factored those out into a single place, which makes the parsing code shorter and the interesting parts stand out more easily. * The main per-character record type in the script's data structures is a length-18 tuple. Using the magic of dataclasses, I converted this so that e.g. the code says `record.numeric_value` instead of `record[8]`. There's no radical restructuring or rewrite here; this script has served us well. I've kept these changes focused where there's a high ratio of value, in future ease of development, to cost, in a reviewer's effort as well as mine. I'll send PRs of my changes shortly. ---------- components: Unicode messages: 349020 nosy: Greg Price, ezio.melotti, vstinner priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Refactor makeunicodedata.py: dedupe parsing, use dataclass type: enhancement versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37760> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
