New submission from Brian Bossé <[email protected]>:
Executing the following code against a py file which contains line
continuations generates an assert:
import tokenize
foofile = open(filename, "r")
tokenize.untokenize(list(tokenize.generate_tokens(foofile.readline)))
(note, the list() is important due to issue #8478)
The assert triggered is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "C:\Python27\lib\tokenize.py", line 262, in untokenize
return ut.untokenize(iterable)
File "C:\Python27\lib\tokenize.py", line 198, in untokenize
self.add_whitespace(start)
File "C:\Python27\lib\tokenize.py", line 187, in add_whitespace
assert row <= self.prev_row
AssertionError
I have tested this in 2.6.5, 2.7 and 3.1.2. The line numbers may differ but
the stack is otherwise identical between these versions.
Example input code:
foo = \
3
If the assert is removed, the code generated is still incorrect. For example,
the input:
foo = 3
if foo == 5 or \
foo == 1
pass
becomes:
foo = 3
if foo == 5 orfoo == 1
pass
which besides not having the line continuation, is functionally incorrect.
I'm wrapping my head around the functionality of this module and am willing to
do the legwork to get a fix in. Ideas on how to go about it are more than
welcome.
Ironic aside: this bug is present when tokenize.py itself is used as input.
