Leading whitespace in Mac IDE script name
Hi, I'm trying to fetch Python from CVS using Eclipse, and it's choking on a file with leading whitespace in its name: /python/dist/src/Mac/IDE scripts/Widget demos/ separator --- There's an identical file in the same directory, but without the leading whitespace in the name. So is this 'leading whitespace' version actually needed, or is it something historical? Regards, Nick P.S. I also sent a question to the Eclipse folks regarding the fact that the Eclipse CVS checkout collapses in a screaming heap when it hits this file. However, if the Mac release doesn't use this file, getting rid of it from the HEAD would probably get me up and running more quickly. -- Nick Coghlan | Brisbane, Australia Email: ncoghlan@email.com | Mobile: +61 409 573 268

There is a long-outstanding bug report about a bunch of file names in the MAC/IDE scripts directory: 764447. Supposedly this was going to be dealt with after 2.3 became final... I expect that any fix for this report would also fix your problem with the leading white space. -- Sjoerd Mullender <sjoerd@acm.org>

The thing is: we think we're going to get rid of the IDE for 2.4, but that will only happen if the replacement is written in time. -- Jack Jansen, <Jack.Jansen@cwi.nl>, http://www.cwi.nl/~jack If I can't dance I don't want to be part of your revolution -- Emma Goldman

Looking at what Just wrote on the bug report, how hard would it be to add a small preprocessing step to the code which reads these filenames? The suggestion I made on Sourceforge was to prepend and append single underscores to all of the filenames, then have a preprocessing step to remove those before passing the filename lists to the existing code. E.g " problematic menu item." ==> "_ problematic menu item._" Seemed like it might be easier than a wholesale rewrite of the menu generation mechanism. But then, I don't know how this code works, so I'm just guessing here :) Regards, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | Brisbane, Australia Email: ncoghlan@email.com | Mobile: +61 409 573 268
