[issue10769] ast: provide more useful range information

Sven Brauch added the comment: Hi, I agree that the current behavior is not wrong or such. It's just entirely useless. For all the other types of subscripts, such as a[b][c][d] or a(b)(c)(d), the ranges of the actual subscript ASTs are also nulled, but there's an additional Name (or whatever

[issue10769] ast: provide more useful range information

Sven Brauch added the comment: Well, weather it's supposed to or not, it *does* contain the line number information: For your example, the AST for "foo" tells you the offset for foo. If you want to know the offset (well, "offset") for blah, why not look at foo? Currently, the information is

[issue10769] ast: provide more useful range information

Sven Brauch added the comment: Then you'd get the point where foo starts instead of the location of the opening brace. Sounds good for me. Also, I already said that, with the change I proposed, I do not see any case where relevant information would be lost. Your argument that it would not be

[issue10757] zipfile.write, arcname should be bytestring

R. David Murray added the comment: See also msg79724 of issue 4871. From looking at the code it appears that the filename must be a string, and if it contains only ASCII characters it is entered as ascii, while if it contains non-ascii it is encoded to utf-8 and the appropriate flag bits set

[issue10769] ast: provide more useful range information

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: FWIW, I find the current behavior for attributes to be surprising, to the point where at first glance it almost looks like a bug. Which is to say, I would have expected 'col' to point to the first non-whitespace column after the '.'. If there are multiple att

[issue10756] Error in atexit._run_exitfuncs [...] Exception expected for value, str found

Andreas Stührk added the comment: It's because `PyErr_Fetch()` which is used in `atexit_callfuncs()` can return an unnormalized exception (e.g. if the exception is set with `PyErr_SetString()`. "value" is then a string). A simple call to `PyErr_NormalizeException()` fixes this issue. Attache
