Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment:
"Fixing" multibytecodec.c produces a TypeError in the following test:
def test_errorcallback_longindex(self):
dec = codecs.getdecoder('euc-kr')
myreplace = lambda exc: ('', sys.maxsize+1)
codecs.register_error('test.cjktest', myreplace)
self.assertRaises(IndexError, dec,
'apple\x92ham\x93spam', 'test.cjktest')
TypeError: decode() argument 1 must be bytes or buffer, not str
Since the test is meant to test recovery from a misbehaving callback, I
guess the type of the input string is not really important and can be
changed to a bytes string instead. What do you think?
(in any case, here is a patch)
