The problem implementing print in gpython.

The problem implementing print in gpython.

[ncw]

The gpython print is fairly minimal at the moment and certainly needs improving.

I think this particular bug is caused by this line doing the argument parsing wrong (not sure exactly why).

gpython/builtin/builtin.go

Line 185 in 4b347aa

err := py.ParseTupleAndKeywords(nil, kwargs, "|ssOO:print", kwlist, &sepObj, &endObj, &file, &flush)

There is a temporary way to modify the builtin_print.
But I don't think it's the right way.

func builtin_print(self py.Object, args py.Tuple, kwargs py.StringDict) (py.Object, error) {
    var (
        sepObj py.Object = py.String(" ")
        endObj py.Object = py.String("\n")
        file   py.Object = py.MustGetModule("sys").Globals["stdout"]
        flush  py.Object
    )
    kwlist := []string{"sep", "end", "file", "flush"}
    for _, kw := range kwlist {
        switch _, ok := kwargs[kw]; ok {
        case true:
            continue
        default:
            if kw == "sep" {
                kwargs[kw] = sepObj
            } else if kw == "end" {
                kwargs[kw] = endObj
            } else if kw == "file" {
                kwargs[kw] = file
            } else {
                kwargs[kw] = flush
            }
        }
    }
    err := py.ParseTupleAndKeywords(nil, kwargs, "|ssOO:print", kwlist, &sepObj, &endObj, &file, &flush)
    ...

py.ParseTupleAndKeywords should be doing that for us...

The bug must be in this bit of code I think... No time to investigate further right now - over to you to have a look!

gpython/py/args.go

Lines 444 to 453 in 8c361a8

	for i, kw := range kwlist {
	if value, ok := kwargs[kw]; ok {
	if len(args) > i {
	return ExceptionNewf(TypeError, "%s() got multiple values for argument '%s'", name, kw)
	}
	args = append(args, value)
	} else if keywordOnly {
	args = append(args, nil)
	}
	}
