[issue7380] uuid.UUID.bytes gives a bytearray() instead of bytes
|
|
New submission from flox <laxyf [at] yahoo>:
I've tried some experiments with module uuid, and I meet some
inconsistencies between the documentation, the docstring and the real
behavior of the module.
An interactive session is worth a thousand words:
>>> import uuid
>>> uuid.UUID(bytes='\x12\x34\x56\x78'*4)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python3.1/uuid.py", line 149, in __init__
assert isinstance(bytes, bytes_), repr(bytes)
AssertionError: '\x124Vx\x124Vx\x124Vx\x124Vx'
>>> uuid.UUID(bytes_le='\x78\x56\x34\x12\x34\x12\x78\x56' +
... '\x12\x34\x56\x78\x12\x34\x56\x78')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 2, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python3.1/uuid.py", line 144, in __init__
bytes_(reversed(bytes_le[6:8])) +
TypeError: 'str' object cannot be interpreted as an integer
>>>
Ok, the lines above are just parts of the documentation which need
update. But what is more confusing is the last example of the documentation.
http://docs.python.org/dev/py3k/library/uuid.html
Here is the interactive session:
>>> x = uuid.UUID('{00010203-0405-0607-0809-0a0b0c0d0e0f}')
>>> x.bytes
bytearray(b'\x00\x01\x02\x03\x04\x05\x06\x07\x08\t\n\x0b\x0c\r\x0e\x0f')
>>> x.bytes_le
b'\x03\x02\x01\x00\x05\x04\x07\x06\x08\t\n\x0b\x0c\r\x0e\x0f'
>>>
Normally both attributes should get a "UUID as a 16-byte string",
according to the documentation. Only the endianness should do the
difference. I guess this one need a patch.
Finally, the docstring fails, too:
