Jason R. Coombs <jar...@jaraco.com> added the comment: I looked into the possibility of retaining newline characters even for files with mixed newlines, but I've decided that's too intrusive an approach. The current implementation specifically takes measures to strip whitespaces from the ends of lines, so it seems outside the scope of this bug to alter that behavior.
So I've taken another stab at a more robust implementation that does newline detection but raises an error if the file contains mixed newlines. Furthermore, it adds an option (--newline) to specify which newline character to use, bypassing the mixed-newline error and allowing the user to override newline detection. Here's a demo run: PS C:\cpython-issue10639> python .\Tools\scripts\reindent.py .\foo.py .\foo.py: mixed newlines detected; cannot continue without --newline PS C:\cpython-issue10639> python .\Tools\scripts\reindent.py --newline CRLF .\foo.py PS C:\cpython-issue10639> python .\Tools\scripts\reindent.py --newline LF .\foo.py PS C:\cpython-issue10639> python .\Tools\scripts\reindent.py .\foo.py I've published this change as https://bitbucket.org/jaraco/cpython-issue10639/changeset/900df5732f93. Please review. If this changeset is acceptable, I will push the revisions to the master repo. Please advise if I may also backport to Python 3.2 and 2.7. ---------- hgrepos: +45 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10639> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
