New submission from Andrii V. Mishkovskyi <misho...@gmail.com>: I think the following message is a little bit confusing: Python 2.7a0 (trunk, Mar 17 2009, 12:06:19) [GCC 4.3.2] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> open('abc\x00') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: file() argument 1 must be (encoded string without NULL bytes), not str
This message could be much more better if unneeded parentheses were removed. :) The message on line 861 in Python/getargs.c reads much better: "string without null bytes" Would it be appropriate to change the message in topic to something like this? ---------- messages: 84264 nosy: mishok13 severity: normal status: open title: Strange error message in Python/getargs.c versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5580> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
