Category: Python Interpreter Core Group: None

Status: Closed Resolution: Accepted Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Michael Hudson (mwh) Summary: Wrong error message for file.write(a, b)

Initial Comment: Passing too many arguments to a file's write() method produces an error message that complains about paasing a tuple rather than more accurately complaining about too many arguments:

TypeError: argument must be string or read-only character buffer, not tuple

OK, done in fileobject.c revision 2.136. Re space/tabs: submitting patches is a multi-OS multi-machine adventure for me at the moment. You probably don't want to know the details.

Michael, the patch looks good, you can apply it yourself.

(How did you manage to get the patch space-filled where the source code has only tabs?)

I think this is easy.

Can someone have a look at the attached patch while make test is running?
