Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.3 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Rumpeltux (rumpeltux) Assigned to: Martin v. L?wis (loewis) Summary: bug in idna-encoding-module

Initial Comment: in /usr/lib/python2.3/encodings/idna.py, line 175 it goes: lables = input.split('.') which causes the interpreter to stop executing the program, but by changing it to labels = dots.split(input) everything's fine ;)

I can't see any problem in the code. The invocation of unicode() is correct - we just look for the exception that call may raise.

Rumpeltux, can you please report the exact input and exception you get?

Martin, it looks like line 174: unicode(input, "ascii") should be input = unicode(input, "ascii"). I'm not sure what's supposed to happenning here, but it looks like the if/else code block may be able to be rewritten as:

if not isinstance(input, unicode): input = unicode(input, "ascii") labels = dots.split(input)
