When unpacking a pascal string, you cannot simply specify a p format character otherwise struct calculate a wrong size of the format. That's why unpack fails. When count conflicts with the length byte, the smaller one is chosen. I think this is consistent with packing. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23816> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
