New submission from Raúl Núñez de Arenas: According to the documentation, if the 'compile' built-in function encounters NUL bytes in the compiled source, it raises TypeError, but this is not true:
>>> source = '\u0000' >>> compile(source, '', 'single') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ValueError: source code string cannot contain null bytes It raises ValueError, not TypeError. And IMHO, it's the proper exception to raise... ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 260613 nosy: Raúl Núñez de Arenas, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Error in documentation for "compile" built-in function type: enhancement versions: Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26401> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
