New submission from ale...@altlinux.org :
There is a strange behavior while processing data in a "for" loop with
urllib.parse.unquote() - looks like memory corruption - a list contains
elements that have never been appended.
I'll explain the testcase.
I spotted the problem by checking for any remains of url encoding left in
output_list. There were these strings with url encoding left - "bad_boys" dict
in testcase. Now, when iterating through input_list (read from "data.txt"), I'm
checking for those problematic entries and printing what is being appended to
the output_list as well as all problematic (unwanted, "Bad Boys") and converted
problematic entries ("Normal conversions") existing in the output_list. At some
point, unwanted entries appear in output_list. The resulting output_list
contains converted and unconverted problematic entries, though input_list's
length equals output_list's length.
data.txt needs to be saved along with testcase.py, and then you can run
testcase.py.
The output of running testcase.py:
Bad Boys are:
