From 702e85e48fc4972714c57683f4c7b1daf775bd5c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Noel Power Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2018 17:17:20 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] lib/tevent: Additionally accept unicode as string param in Py2 With the changes to make samba python code Py2/Py3 compatible there now are many instances where string content is decoded. Decoded string variables in Py2 are returned as the unicode type. Many Py2 c-module functions that take string arguments only check for the string type. However now it's quite possibe the content formally passed as a string argument is now passed as unicode after being decoded, such arguments are rejected and code can fail subtly. This only affects places where the type is directly checked e.g. via PyStr_Check etc. arguments that are parsed by ParseTuple* functions generally already accept both string and unicode (if 's', 'z', 's*' format specifiers are used) Signed-off-by: Noel Power Reviewed-by: Alexander Bokovoy --- lib/tevent/pytevent.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/lib/tevent/pytevent.c b/lib/tevent/pytevent.c index 10d8a22a8cf..369ec6e02c8 100644 --- a/lib/tevent/pytevent.c +++ b/lib/tevent/pytevent.c @@ -188,7 +188,7 @@ static PyObject *py_register_backend(PyObject *self, PyObject *args) return NULL; } - if (!PyStr_Check(name)) { + if (!(PyStr_Check(name) || PyUnicode_Check(name))) { PyErr_SetNone(PyExc_TypeError); Py_DECREF(name); return NULL;
