[Python-Dev] import screwiness (original) (raw)

In import.c starting around line 1210 (I removed a bunch of code that doesn't matter for the problem):

            if (PyUnicode_Check(v)) {
                    copy = PyUnicode_Encode(PyUnicode_AS_UNICODE(v),
                            PyUnicode_GET_SIZE(v),

Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, NULL); v = copy; } len = PyString_GET_SIZE(v); if (len + 2 + namelen + MAXSUFFIXSIZE >= buflen) { Py_XDECREF(copy); continue; /* Too long */ } strcpy(buf, PyString_AS_STRING(v));


So if v is originally unicode, then copy is unicode from the second line, right? Then we assign v to copy, so v is still unicode. Then later on we do PyString_GET_SIZE and PyString_AS_STRING. That doesn't work, does it? What am I missing?
