New submission from Filip Gruszczyński <grusz...@gmail.com>:
xdrlib defines ConversionError, but very seldom uses it. For example:
def pack_float(self, x):
try: self.__buf.write(struct.pack('>f', x))
except struct.error as msg:
raise ConversionError(msg)
But it doesn't do so here:
def pack_uint(self, x):
self.__buf.write(struct.pack('>L', x))
Shouldn't that be more consistent?
I am happy to write a patch, that will make xdrlib raise ConversionError, as
well as write proper test (I believe xdrlib tests should get some love
altogether, so I would add a separate test case for this).
