Message 247992 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

Yes changing the docs is a good idea.

I was thinking about a patch :

import os ####### patch import random try: from shlex import quote except ImportError: from pipes import quote #######

....... and so on ....

Part 3: using the database.

def findmatch(caps, MIMEtype, key='view', filename="/dev/null", plist=[]): """Find a match for a mailcap entry.

Return a tuple containing the command line, and the mailcap entry
used; (None, None) if no match is found.  This may invoke the
'test' command of several matching entries before deciding which
entry to use.

"""

entries = lookup(caps, MIMEtype, key)
# XXX This code should somehow check for the needsterminal flag.
for e in entries:
    if 'test' in e:
        test = subst(e['test'], filename, plist)
        if test and os.system(test) != 0:
            continue

####### patch ps=''.join(random.choice('python') for i in range(100)) x=e[key] while '%s' in x: x=x.replace('%s',ps)
command=subst(x, MIMEtype, filename, plist) while "'"+ps+"'" in command: command=command.replace("'"+ps+"'",quote(filename)) while ps in command: command=command.replace(ps,quote(filename))

command = subst(e[key], MIMEtype, filename, plist)

    return command, e
return None, None
