--- Begin Message ---Hi Bill, I'm passing along this bug and patch received against the Debian xword package. I'll do some testing of it myself and possibly add it to the Debian package, but please let me know (keeping the CC to 539756-forwar...@bugs.debian.org) if you include it upstream. Bug: I can't find any specification of what the character encoding used in the AcrossLite .PUZ format is supposed to be, but when generating files to be used by xword it's nice to be able to use UTF-8. The attached patch adds a command line option to try decoding strings in the file as UTF-8 before falling back to the existing default, ISO-8859-1. It also adds a usage message. regards, mark -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-486 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_GB.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages xword depends on: ii python 2.5.2-1 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-gtk2 2.12.1-6 Python bindings for the GTK+ widge xword recommends no packages. -- debconf-show failed --- /usr/games/xword 2009-06-28 05:31:48.000000000 +0100 +++ bin/xword 2009-08-03 13:02:43.000000000 +0100 @@ -52,6 +52,9 @@ import pickle import ConfigParser +from optparse import OptionParser +try_utf_8_first = False + HOME_PATH = '/usr/share/games/xword' CHECK_ICON = HOME_PATH + '/crossword-check.png' CHECK_ALL_ICON = HOME_PATH + '/crossword-check-all.png' @@ -131,6 +134,11 @@ result = s ellipsis_char = 133 result = result.replace(chr(ellipsis_char), '...') + if try_utf_8_first: + try: + return unicode(result, 'utf_8') + except: + pass result = unicode(result, 'iso_8859-1') return result @@ -1812,10 +1820,21 @@ c.write(file(os.path.expanduser('~/.crossword.cfg'), 'w')) if __name__ == '__main__': - if len(sys.argv) <> 2: + + parser = OptionParser(usage="Usage: %prog [OPTIONS] [PUZZLE-FILENAME]") + parser.add_option('-u', '--utf8', dest="utf8", action="store_true", + default=False, help="Try UTF-8 decoding of clues first.") + options,args = parser.parse_args() + + try_utf_8_first = options.utf8 + + if len(args) == 0: p = None + elif len(args) == 1: + p = Puzzle(args[0]) else: - p = Puzzle(sys.argv[1]) + parser.print_help() + sys.exit(1) w = PuzzleWindow(p) gtk.main() Thanks, -- -John Sullivan -http://wjsullivan.net -GPG Key: AE8600B6
