Issue 5028: tokenize.generate_tokens doesn't always return logical line (original) (raw)

According to the documentation for tokenize.generate_tokens:

"The generator produces 5-tuples with these members: the token type; the token string; a 2-tuple (srow, scol) of ints specifying the row and column where the token begins in the source; a 2-tuple (erow, ecol) of ints specifying the row and column where the token ends in the source; and the line on which the token was found. The line passed (the last tuple item) is the logical line; continuation lines are included."

It seems though that the "logical line" -- the last element of the tuple is the physical line unless the token being returned spans beyond the end of the line. As an example, consider a test file test.py:

foo = """ %s """ % 'bar'

import pprint, tokenize pprint.pprint(list(tokenize.generate_tokens(open('test.py').readline))) [(1, 'foo', (1, 0), (1, 3), 'foo = """\n'), (51, '=', (1, 4), (1, 5), 'foo = """\n'), (3, '"""\n%s """', (1, 6), (2, 6), 'foo = """\n%s """ % 'bar'\n'), (51, '%', (2, 7), (2, 8), '%s """ % 'bar'\n'), (3, "'bar'", (2, 9), (2, 14), '%s """ % 'bar'\n'), (4, '\n', (2, 14), (2, 15), '%s """ % 'bar'\n'), (0, '', (3, 0), (3, 0), '')]

Since there is only one logical line, I would expect the first 6 tokens to have the same 5th element.
