Public bug reported: The issue appears on PPC64 LE. It is OK on (Ubuntu) x86_64. Version of Python is 2.7.6 on both systems. The issue is demonstrated while running AVRO Python tests (in lang/py : ant test).
- On Ubuntu / PPC64 LE : $ pwd ..../lang/py $ export PYTHONPATH=./build/src $ /home/tony/AVRO/avro-FromFreshIBMSOEGitHub/lang/py/build/test/../scripts/avro cat /tmp/REIX --fields 'first, last' {"first": "daffy"} {"first": "bugs"} {"first": "tweety"} {"first": "road"} {"first": "wile"} {"first": "pepe"} {"first": "foghorn"} Usage: avro cat|write [options] FILE [FILE...] avro: error: Can't open last - [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'last' $ echo $? 2 The issue is that 'first, last' is not parsed correctly. The white space between "," and "last" is parsed in a way that makes "last" been interpreted as a "FILE" instead of an option. Without the white space, that works fine: $ /home/tony/AVRO/avro-FromFreshIBMSOEGitHub/lang/py/build/test/../scripts/avro cat /tmp/REIX --fields 'first,last' {"last": "duck", "first": "daffy"} {"last": "bunny", "first": "bugs"} {"last": "", "first": "tweety"} {"last": "runner", "first": "road"} {"last": "e", "first": "wile"} {"last": "le pew", "first": "pepe"} {"last": "leghorn", "first": "foghorn"} $ echo $? 0 - On Ubuntu / x86_64, both 'first, last' and 'first,last' are OK: $ pwd ..../lang/py $ export PYTHONPATH=./build/src $ build/test/../scripts/avro cat /tmp/REIX --fields 'first, last' {"last": "duck", "first": "daffy"} {"last": "bunny", "first": "bugs"} {"last": "", "first": "tweety"} {"last": "runner", "first": "road"} {"last": "e", "first": "wile"} {"last": "le pew", "first": "pepe"} {"last": "leghorn", "first": "foghorn"} $ echo $? 0 Source code of: /home/tony/AVRO/avro-FromFreshIBMSOEGitHub/lang/py/build/test/../scripts/avro is: def main(argv=None): import sys from optparse import OptionParser, OptionGroup argv = argv or sys.argv parser = OptionParser(description="Display/write for Avro files", version="1.7.4", usage="usage: %prog cat|write [options] FILE [FILE...]") .... So, OptionParser() does not work on PPC64 like it does on x86_64. ** Affects: python2.7 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1378888 Title: OptionParser on PPC64LE does not split args correctly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python2.7/+bug/1378888/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
