[issue23144] html.parser.HTMLParser: setting 'convert_charrefs = True' leads to dropped text
by Martin Panter March 7, 2015

March 7, 2015

Martin Panter added the comment: I still think it would be worthwhile adding close() calls to the examples in the documentation (Doc/library/html.parser.rst). BTW I haven’t tested this, and maybe it is not a concern, but even with this patch it looks like the parser will buffer unlimited data and output nothing until close() if each string it is fed ends with an ampersand (and otherwise contains only plain text, no tags etc). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23144> _______________________________________

html.parser.HTMLParser: setting 'convert_charrefs = True' leads to dropped text (issue 23144)

https://bugs.python.org/review/23144/diff/14120/Lib/html/parser.py File Lib/html/parser.py (right): https://bugs.python.org/review/23144/diff/14120/Lib/html/parser.py#newcode1… Lib/html/parser.py:146: # this is the case before proceding by looking for an proceeding [double E] https://bugs.python.org/review/23144/diff/14120/Lib/html/parser.py#newcode1… Lib/html/parser.py:148: amppos = rawdata.rfind('&', max(i, n-34)) Where does the -34 come from? I guess you are trying to optimize how far rfind() searches (“looking for an ampersand _near_ the end”), based on some maximum character reference length, but this at least needs a comment explaining the magic number. https://bugs.python.org/review/23144/

[issue23144] html.parser.HTMLParser: setting 'convert_charrefs = True' leads to dropped text
by Ezio Melotti March 7, 2015

March 7, 2015

Ezio Melotti added the comment: Here is a patch that fixes the problem. Even though calling .close() is the correct solution, I preferred to restore the previous behavior and call handle_data as soon as possible. There is a corner case in which a charref might be cut in half while feeding chunks to the parser -- in that case the parser will wait and it might still be necessary to call .close() if an incomplete charref is at the end of the string. Adding context manager support to HTMLParser might also help solving the problem, but that's a separate issue. (Also thanks to Serhiy for the feedback he provided me on IRC.) ---------- keywords: +patch nosy: +serhiy.storchaka stage: -> commit review versions: +Python 2.7, Python 3.5 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file38376/issue23144.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23144> _______________________________________

[issue22154] ZipFile.open context manager support
by Tuomas Suutari March 7, 2015

March 7, 2015

Tuomas Suutari added the comment: The context manager support was added on issue #5511, so the documentation should go to 2.7, 3.4 and default. Also the version added notes should be added. ---------- nosy: +Tuomas Suutari _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22154> _______________________________________
