Description Helmut Jarausch 2014-08-07 14:21:56 UTC
This occurs with Python-3.3.5 and docutils-0.12 (and previous versions?)

A call to sphinx-build with options -T -P gives

...
[autodoc] import BibLib
[autodoc] => <module 'BibLib' from '/home/jarausch/Bib_NDev/IGPM_Bib_Doc/IGPM_Bib/BibLib.py'>
[autodoc] getattr(_, 'reduce')
[autodoc] => <built-in function reduce>
Exception occurred while building, starting debugger:

The code "type(target)('dummy_file')" doesn't look sane.

  Why? It builds without any problems.
  It occurs when I apply it, i.e. invoke sphinx-build

Independent of my configuration,
bytes('some string')  doesn't work in Python3 since it needs an encoding.
So, I don't understand the code snippet mentioned in my bug report.

Comment 4 Ian Delaney (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-08-08 01:23:58 UTC
Your ? in the Description kind of raises ? to me. However, before i actually run the patch, should not
if type(target) == bytes :
be
if type(target) == bytes:
?

Also this patch looks as if it warrants submitting upstream, yes?
Comment 5 Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2018-04-24 16:51:49 UTC
Is this still relevant for 0.14?
