ring is empty, then the line: if (end != last) { does not evaluate to true, so you end up skipping the error you're referring to and instead executing these lines: else if (x == -1.0 && PyErr_Occurred()) { return NULL; } So maybe the logic should be fixed here since the empty string is basically taking a separate logical path than it philosophically should (imo).

Re: how to fast processing one million strings to remove quotes

e, where you don't really want to double the memory use: for idx, line in enumerate(str_lines): str_lines[idx] = fixed(line) The most Pythonic way to process a large "list" of data is often to not use a list at all, but to use iterators. Whether it's feasible to access the strings one-by-one will depend on where they come from and where they're going. Something like this may or may not be useful: def remove_quotes_from_all(lines): for line in lines: yield line[1:-1].replace('""', '"') with open('weird_file.txt', 'r') as input: with open('not_so_weird_file.txt', 'w') as output: for fixed_line in remove_quotes_from_all(input): output.write(f'{fixed_line}\n') -- Thomas -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
