Category: Unicode Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Tim Peters (tim_one) Assigned to: M.-A. Lemburg (lemburg) Summary: test_unicode_file fails on Win98SE

Initial Comment: In current CVS, test_unicode_file fails on Win98SE. This has been going on for some time, actually.

ERROR: test_single_files (__main__.TestUnicodeFiles)

Traceback (most recent call last): File ".../lib/test/test_unicode_file.py", line 162, in test_single_files self._test_single(TESTFN_UNICODE) File ".../lib/test/test_unicode_file.py", line 136, in _test_single self._do_single(filename) File ".../lib/test/test_unicode_file.py", line 49, in _do_single new_base = unicodedata.normalize("NFD", new_base) TypeError: normalized() argument 2 must be unicode, not str

At this point,

filename is TESTFN_UNICODE is u'@test-\xe0\xf2'

os.path.abspath(filename) is 'C:\Code\python\PC\VC6\@test-\xe0\xf2'

new_base is '@test-\xe0\xf2

So abspath() removed the "Unicodeness" of filename, and new_base is indeed not a Unicode string at this point.

Nope, that can't help -- ntpath.py's _abspath doesn't exist on Win98SE (the "from nt import _getfullpathname" succeeds, so _abspath is never defined). It's _getfullpathname() that's taking a Unicode input and returning a str output here.

abspath(unicode) should return a Unicode path.

Does it help if _abspath (in ntpath.py) is changed to contain

if not isabs(path): if isinstance(path, unicode): cwd = os.getcwdu() else: cwd = os.getcwd() path = join(cwd, path)
