Consider: import shlex shlex.split('$( which sh)')
['$(which', 'sh)']
Is this behavior correct? It seems that I should
either get one token, or the list
['$','(','which' ,'sh',')'],
but certainly breaking it the way it does is
erroneous.
Can anyone explain why the string is being split
that way? 4 1480

This may help. http://www.python.org/dev/doc/devel/...ule-shlex.html
This works on Python 2.4: import shlex sh = shlex.shlex('$( which sh)') sh.get_token()
'$' sh.get_token()
'(' sh.get_token()
'which' sh.get_token()
'sh' sh.get_token()
')' sh.get_token()
etc...
Python 2.2 and maybe lower: import shlex import StringIO s = StringIO.String IO('$(which sh)') sh = shlex.shlex(s) sh.get_token()
'$' sh.get_token()
'(' sh.get_token()
'which' sh.get_token()
'sh' sh.get_token()
')' sh.get_token()
etc...

Its gets worse: from shlex import StringIO from shlex import shlex t = shlex(StringIO( "2>&1")) while True:
.... b = t.read_token()
.... if not b: break
.... print b
....
2
&
1 <----------- where's the '>' !? import shlex print shlex.split("2> &1")
['2>&1']
It strikes me that split should be behaving exactly the same way as
read_token, but that may be a misunderstandin g on my part of what split
is doing.
However, it is totally bizarre that read_token discards the '>' symbol
in the string! I don't know much about lexical analysis, but it
strikes me that discarding characters is a bad thing.

split(s[, comments])
Split the string s using shell-like syntax. If comments is False
(the default), the parsing of comments in the given string will be
disabled (setting the commenters member of the shlex instance to the
empty string). This function operates in POSIX mode. New in version
2.3.
Maybe looking at string methods split might help. "$(which sh)".split()
['($(which', 'sh)']
From the docs:
read_token()
Read a raw token. Ignore the pushback stack, and do not interpret
source requests. (This is not ordinarily a useful entry point, and is
documented here only for the sake of completeness.)
# Just like in my first post from StringIO import StringIO from shlex import shlex t = shlex(StringIO( "2>&1")) t.get_token()
'2' t.get_token()
'>' t.get_token()
'&' t.get_token()
'1' t.get_token()
''
# Your way t = shlex(StringIO( "2>&1")) t.read_token()
'2' t.read_token()
'&' t.read_token()
'1' t.read_token()
''

Python 2.3.5 (#1, Mar 20 2005, 20:38:20)
[GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1809)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright" , "credits" or "license" for more information. import shlex print shlex.__doc__
A lexical analyzer class for simple shell-like syntaxes.
This has a little potential to mislead. Bourne shell
syntax is naturally "shell-like", but it is not "simple" -
as grammars go, it's a notorious mess. In theory, someone
could certainly write Python code to accurately parse Bourne
shell statements, but that doesn't appear to have been the
intention here. The "Parsing Rules" section of the documentation
describes what you can expect, and right off hand I don't see
how the result you got was erroneous.

Hi,
I am observing unexpected behaviour, in the form of a corrupted class
member access, from a simple C++ program that accesses an attribute
declared in a virtual base class via a chain of virtual method calls.
To further complicate (or perhaps simplify) matters, some compilers
(GCC and MingW) produce the expected behaviour, while others (MSVS 7.1)
do not. I can only offer two explanations for my observations:
