[New-bugs-announce] [issue19621] Reimporting this and str.translate()

[Chris Angelico]

New submission from Chris Angelico:

In an interactive session, typing 'import this' a second time doesn't produce output (as the module's already imported). Peeking into the module shows a string and what looks like a translation dictionary, but doing the obvious thing:

>>> this.s.translate(this.d)

doesn't work, because str.translate() expects a dictionary that maps Unicode ordinals, not one-character strings.

Attached is a patch which makes Lib/this.py use s.translate() instead of the wordier comprehension. Dare I ask, is there any possible code that this change could break? :)
