specified in the uu header already exists. No additional
workaround is provided since out_file=pathname is a deprecated
interface, so it is better to simply pass a file-like object into
out_file anyway. This closes SF bug #438083.
Use isinstance() tests instead of type comparisons.
decode(): While writing tests for uu.py, Nick Mathewson discovered
that the 'Truncated input file' exception could never get raised,
because its "if not str:" test was actually testing the builtin
function "str", not the local string vrbl "s" as intended.
Bugfix candidate.
with spaces in filename.
I changed the module to use string methods instead of the string
module. Also, instead of stripping the last character of the filename
(assuming this is the linefeed), I strip trailing whitespace (assuming
creating files with trailing whitespace in their name cannot possibly
be a wise idea).
(Note that I believe that /F's "workaround for broken uuencoders" is
no longer needed since the recent fix to binascii.c, but I'll leave it
in since it appears pretty harmless.)
The attached patches update the standard library so that all modules
have docstrings beginning with one-line summaries.
A new docstring was added to formatter. The docstring for os.py
was updated to mention nt, os2, ce in addition to posix, dos, mac.
