New submission from Arno-Can Uestuensoez: I am currently writing an extended options scanner including shlex-compatibility mode. So including numerous extended unittests for compatibility verification.
I am not sure whether the following behaviour of shlex.split() is correct: Quote from manual: Parsing Rules: Closing quotes separate words ("Do"Separate is parsed as "Do" and Separate); Case-0: Works sopts = """-a "Do"Separate """ resx = ["-a", '"Do"', 'Separate', ] shlex.split(sopts,posix=False) assert res == resx Case-1: Fails - should work? sopts = """-a "Do"Separate"this" """ resx = ["-a", '"Do"', 'Separate', '"this"', ] shlex.split(sopts,posix=False) assert res == resx Case-2: Works - should fail? sopts = """-a "Do"Separate"this" """ #@UnusedVariable resx = ["-a", '"Do"', 'Separate"this"', ] shlex.split(sopts,posix=False) assert res == resx The Case-0 is as defined in the manuals. Is Case-1 or Case-2 the correct behaviour? Which of Case-1, Case-2 is an error? REMARK: I haven't found an eralier issue, so filing this here. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 278329 nosy: Andrey.Kislyuk, acue, cvrebert, eric.araujo, eric.smith, ezio.melotti, python-dev, r.david.murray, robodan, vinay.sajip priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Multiple occurances of: Closing quotes separate words type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28391> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
