[issue34825] Add more entries to os module to pathlib reference table
by Karthikeyan Singaravelan Oct. 5, 2018

Oct. 5, 2018

New submission from Karthikeyan Singaravelan <tir.karthi(a)gmail.com>: I found issue33194 where unlink from pathlib can be used to delete a file or symlink similar to os.unlink or os.remove but the visibility for the function was low. I found there is a reference table with os module functions and their equivalent pathlib methods. I think this can be improved by adding an entry for Path.unlink as an equivalent for os.remove and os.unlink. I would suggest adding some more functions to … [View More]

[issue22232] str.splitlines splitting on non-\r\n characters
by Neil Schemenauer Oct. 5, 2018

Oct. 5, 2018

Neil Schemenauer <nas-python(a)arctrix.com> added the comment: I've created a topic on this inside the "Ideas" area of discuss.python.org. Sorry if that wasn't appropriate, not sure if I should have keep the discussion here. Inada Naoki suggests creating a new method str.iterlines{[keepends]). Given that people are -1 on changing str.splitlines, I think that's a good solution. A new method is better yet if it would only split on '\n', that way fp.read().iterlines() matches fp.… [View More]

[issue22232] str.splitlines splitting on non-\r\n characters
by Marc-Andre Lemburg Oct. 5, 2018

Oct. 5, 2018

Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal(a)egenix.com> added the comment: I am -1 on changing the default behavior. The Unicode standard defines what a linebreak code point is (all code points with character properties Zl or bidirectional property B) and we adhere to that. This may confuse parsers coming from the ASCII world, but that's really a problem with those parsers assuming that .splitlines() only splits on ASCII line breaks, i.e. they are not written in a Unicode compatible way. As mentioned in … [View More]

[issue22232] str.splitlines splitting on non-\r\n characters
by Serhiy Storchaka Oct. 4, 2018

Oct. 4, 2018

Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpython(a)gmail.com> added the comment: If change the default behavior we need to wait several releases after adding this option. Users should be able to pick the current behavior explicitly. Currently the workaround is using regular expressions. For s.splitlines(keepends=False): re.split(r'\n|\r\n?', s) For s.splitlines(keepends=True): re.split(r'(?<=\n)|(?<=\r)(?!\n)', s) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker … [View More]

[issue22232] str.splitlines splitting on non-\r\n characters
by Neil Schemenauer Oct. 4, 2018

Oct. 4, 2018

Neil Schemenauer <nas-python(a)arctrix.com> added the comment: If we introduce a keyword parameter, I think the default of str.splitlines() should be changed to match bytes.splitlines (and match Python 2 str.splitlines()). I.e. split on \r and \n by default. I looked through the stdline and I can't find any calls that should actually by splitting on the extra characters. I will check it again though. Does anyone have an example of where the current behaviour is actually wanted? -----… [View More]
