package reportbug retitle 848692 reportbug fails with punctuation in name severity 848692 important kthxbye
This issue hit me as well, seeing as I use a middle initial, and
therefore have a period in my realname field. I'm raising the severity
to important, although I could argue based on one's inability to choose
one's name, this could be grave.
The issue is this code:
if re.match(r'[\w\s]+$', realname):
return '%s <%s>' % (realname, email)
addr = email.utils.formataddr((realname, email))
We don't take the branch since “.” (and “'”, etc.) are not in [\w\s],
and then we throw an exception as email is not the module imported at
the top, but the local variable. As the original reporter and I
discovered, omitting the punctuation from one's name makes things work,
as the branch is then taken.
