New submission from Guido van Rossum <gu...@python.org>: There's a path in imp.find_module that mixes encodings. The module name is encoded to char* using UTF-8 by the 's' format passed to PyArg_ParseTuple(). But the path name is converted (in the loop over the path in find_module()) to char* using the filesystem encoding. On Windows this ends up constructing a char* that mixes MBCS and UTF8 in one string.
(We discovered this when researching bug 4352, but this is not the cause of the problem reported there -- the module name in that bug is ASCII.) Andrew Svetlov is looking into producing a patch. ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 84548 nosy: asvetlov, gvanrossum priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: imp.find_module() mixes UTF8 and MBCS type: behavior versions: Python 3.0, Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5604> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
