I thought I'd explained it in detail without having to invoke the
testsuite. If TEMPFN is "tm...@test" you get the following failure:
FAILED (failures=1)
test test_file failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\pydev\python\trunk\lib\test\test_file.py", line 175, in
testUnicodeOpen
self.assert_(repr(f).startswith("<open file u'" + TESTFN))
AssertionError: None
It fails, because print repr(f) will start with:
<open file u'tm...@test
Essentially, when generating a repr of a fileobject with a string
filename, the string filename is interpolated between the single colons.
But when it generates a repr of a fileobject with a unicode filename,
the unicode name is escaped and then interpolated.
This results in unicode filename fileobjects having a repr with escaped
backslashes, while the string filename fileobjects have a repr where the
backslashes appear unescaped between the colons.
My patch proposes to
a) make sure that the repr(f) is a string containing the repr of the
filename (be it unicode, string or whatever)
b) Fix the testsuite so that both this case and the one testing string
filenames assumes a repr of the filename.
