Category: Parser/Compiler Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open >Resolution: Accepted Priority: 5 Submitted By: Timo Linna (tilinna) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Erroneous line number error in Py2.4.1 Initial Comment: For some reason Python 2.3.5 reports the error in the following program correctly: File "C:\Temp\problem.py", line 7 SyntaxError: unknown decode error ..whereas Python 2.4.1 reports an invalid line number: File "C:\Temp\problem.py", line 2 SyntaxError: unknown decode error ----- problem.py starts ----- # -*- coding: ascii -*- """ Foo bar """ # Ä is not allowed in ascii coding ----- problem.py ends ----- Without the encoding declaration both Python versions report the usual deprecation warning (just like they should be doing). My environment: Windows 2000 + SP3. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Walter Dörwald (doerwalter) Date: 2005-04-07 16:28 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=89016 The reason for this is the new codec buffering code in 2.4: The codec might read and decode more data from the byte stream than is neccessary for decoding one line. I.e. when reading line n, the codec might decode bytes that belong to line n+1, n+2 etc. too. If there's a decoding error in this data, line n gets reported. I don't think there's a simple fix for this. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1178484&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
