Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 9 Submitted By: Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk (qrczak) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: __unicode__ breaks for exception class objects Initial Comment: PyObject_Unicode and the unicode function stopped working on class objects of subclasses of BaseException in Python 2.5. >>> unicode(ImportError) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: descriptor '__unicode__' of 'exceptions.BaseException' object needs an argument It should work analogously to str: >>> str(ImportError) "<type 'exceptions.ImportError'>" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Brett Cannon (bcannon) Date: 2006-09-05 11:22 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=357491 This is because exceptions now define a proper __unicode__() method in the PyMethodDef array. This is what gets called and it requires an exception instance. Before it just fell through to the tp_str slot and that didn't complain. Unless some knows a better way (short of defining a tp_unicode slot), the only way to make this work would be to rip out the __unicode__() method. This would then require the function in the tp_str slot to have to detect if its arguments need to be Unicode or not (and I don't know how to do that off the top of my head; is their a PyUnicode_Check()?). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1551432&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
