New submission from Dan Snider <mr.assume.a...@gmail.com>:
Unicode characters with code points above u+ffff can only be added to the end of an array, and only from a call to the "fromunicode" method. This is because "fromunicode" uses a different procedure to modify the array compared to __new__, __setitem__, append, and extend array methods, all of which eventually call u_setitem routine, which calls PyArg_Parse with a format spec of "u#". The error occurs in that call, from what at first glance appears to be an incorrect length determination for unicode objects of the 4 byte kind. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 355319 nosy: bup priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: 'u' formatted arrays mostly prevent appends of 4 byte characters type: behavior versions: Python 3.5, Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38579> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
