(I assume this is the place to post patches for the 2to3 utility, but
please set me straight if I should use bugs.python.org instead...)
I've attached two patches that implement the 2to3 change discussed in
this thread. In 2to3_insert_comment.diff --
* fixes/util.py gets an insert_comment() function. Give it a Node/Leaf
and a comment message, and it will insert a Python comment before the
given Node/Leaf. This takes indentation into account, such that the
comment will be indented to fix the indentation of the line it is
commenting. For example:
if foo:
# comment about bar()
bar()
It also handles existing comments gracefully. If a line already has a
comment above it, the new comment will be added on a new line under
the old one.
* pytree.Base gets two new methods: get_previous_sibling() and
get_previous_in_tree(). These just made it easier and clearer to
implement insert_comment().
* tests/test_util.py has unit tests for insert_comment(), and
tests/test_pytree.py has tests for the two new pytree.Base methods.
The other patch, 2to3_comment_warnings.diff, is an example of how we
could integrate this new insert_comment() method to replace the
current functionality of fixes.basefix.BaseFix.warning(). To see this
in action, apply these two patches and run the 2to3 script
(refactor.py) on the following input:
foo()
map(f, x)
The resulting output should display a Python comment above the map()
call instead of outputting a warning to stdout, which was the previous
behavior.
If these patches are accepted, the next steps would be to change the
behavior of warns() and warns_unchanged() in tests/test_fixers.py, so
that the tests can catch the new behavior.
