[issue21910] File protocol should document if writelines must handle generators sensibly
Dan Haffey added the comment: +1, I just lost an hour-plus compute job to this. It sure violates POLA. I've been passing large generators to file.writelines since about as long as generators have existed, so I never would have guessed that a class named "StreamWriter" of all things wouldn't, you know, stream its writelines argument. -- nosy: +dhaffey ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue21910> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue24580] Wrong or missing exception when compiling regexes with recursive named backreferences
New submission from Dan Haffey: Error reporting for recursive backreferences in regexes isn't consistent across both types of backref. Here's the exception for a recursive numeric backref: >>> import re >>> re.compile(r'(\1)') Traceback (most recent call last): ... sre_constants.error: cannot refer to an open group at position 1 Here's what I'm seeing on the 3.5 branch for a named backref: >>> re.compile(r'(?P(?P=spam))') Traceback (most recent call last): ... RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded Which is an improvement over 3.4 and below, where compilation succeeds and appears to treat (?P=spam) as valid but unmatchable. -- components: Regular Expressions messages: 246390 nosy: dhaffey, ezio.melotti, mrabarnett priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Wrong or missing exception when compiling regexes with recursive named backreferences type: behavior ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue24580> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
