[Python-Dev] tokenize.py (generate_tokens yielding @ as OP) (original) (raw)

This is a question regarding the tokenize.generatetokens function.

As it is in CVS HEAD, generatetokens yields the '@' token as having type OP, not type AT. Is this how it should be?

Without looking at the code, I believe tokenize treats all operators as OP, for a rather liberal definition of "operator".

(A more serious problem that I just encountered in a different context: when you feed it input containing unsupported characters, the spaces before those unsupported characters are also returned as tokens. I think that's a bug.)
