Ezio Melotti <ezio.melo...@gmail.com> added the comment: Right now posixpath returns the argument unchanged, ntpath performs a .replace(), and macpath a .lower(), so when non-string (or non-bytes) are passed to normcase the results are: posixpath: arg returned as-is; ntpath: AttributeError (object has no attribute 'replace'); macpath: AttributeError (object has no attribute 'lower');
In posixpath we could reject all the non-string (and non-bytes) args, raising a TypeError. For consistency, the other functions should raise a TypeError too, but I'm not sure it's worth changing it. Attached a simple testcase that checks that normcase raises a TypeError for invalid values with all the three implementations. ---------- keywords: +patch stage: unit test needed -> needs patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file17700/issue9018.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9018> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
