| Python 2.3 final The standard library function uu.decode prints a warning message to stderr if there is an error when decoding the file. This feels like an incorrect behaviour for a library function. The warning message can be supressed by providing a quiet=True parameter, but this is not currently documented. The relevant line in uu.py is 138 | ||

| Logged In: YES user_id=552329 Printing to stderr outside of debugging is uncommon for the standard library, but there are other modules (ftplib, asyncore) that do it. In this case, it only happens when there is an error (which can be recovered from), so printing to stderr seems fairly appropriate. An alternative would be to call warnings.warn(), although by default that will have the same effect. Documenting the 'quiet' parameter seems reasonable, however, and would be a simple change to libuu.tex. I can produce such a patch, if desired. | ||

| Logged In: YES user_id=21627 I think documenting the quiet parameter is the right solution. Fixed in libuu.tex 1.14 and 1.12.20.2 |
