[Python-Dev] Nasty trunk test failures (original) (raw)

tokenize seems to be mishandling this line:

assert 6 .index() == 6 Note the space between '6' and '.'. I'm guessing that the untokenization of this somehow drops the space; this seems to be a bug in untokenize() which probably should add a safety space after names as well as numbers. Yes, this fixes the problem:

Thanks! It's nice to get a break from the "you found it, you fix it" rule ;-)

Then there's another (shallow) problem that only occurs when I run testtokenize.py directly -- the doctest for decistmt() has-3.21716034272e-007 but (on my box) this outputs -3.21716034272e-07. That doesn't seem to bother it when run via regrtest.py. I'm not sure what's at fault here.

I'll return the favor, then: decistmt's doctests don't run at all when test_tokenize is run indirectly via regrtest.py. I'll fix that (and worm around the Windows-specific expected output).
