Source: python-debian Version: 0.1.37 Severity: normal Hey,
currently whitespace information is lost, when modifing Copyright.files and entries will joined with a simple space. That is correct syntax, but not the expected behavior for a developer. Especially that the workaround needs to access the private data element _RestrictedWrapper__data and that is bad Python practice to access private class members. It would be nice to have a proper way edit and store parts without losing the whitespace information. Here is my workaround: for paragraph in copyright.all_files_paragraphs(): files = list() for f in paragraph._RestrictedWrapper__data['Files'].splitlines(): if match(f.strip()): if files: files.append(f) else: files.append(f.strip()) files_entry = "\n".join(files) paragraph._RestrictedWrapper__data['Files'] = files_entry -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'oldstable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (100, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.6.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled
