New submission from James G. sack (jim) <jgs...@users.sourceforge.net>:
file Lib/tests/regrtest.py Evidently rev 76260 (trunk) / 76261 (py3k) broke code at rev 76324 line 655 (py3k) rev 76321 line 620 (trunk) which is if tests[0] == alltests[i] because tests was rebound from a list to an iterable, and hence indexing cannot be performed on tests subsequent to the rebinding. There are a few other places where tests is indexed, but I suspect those places are before the rebinding to an iterable. At first glance, a viable patch might be to use a different name, eg itests, and leave the original tests list available for use by the line causing the TypeError. However, I think someone more knowledgeable needs to have a look. Ummm, forgive me if this is offbase, but would it be fair to identify as a bad practice, the rebinding of a variable to a different type. ~jim ---------- messages: 95731 nosy: jgsack severity: normal status: open title: regrtest single: iterator not subscriptable type: behavior versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.0, Python 3.1, Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7396> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
