Fixes paramiko#985 SFTPAttributes uses the locale-aware %b directive for the abbrieviated month name with time.strftime, but was not decoding the result on Python 2.7. Add a strftime alias in py3compat that will always return unicode, and resolve the mixing of bytes and text in SFTPAttributes methods. Also adds a test at the listdir level, and a more specific test for the asbytes serialisation of SFTPAttributes.

From downstream bug lp:1522916, a paramiko server using a locale such as
fr_CH.UTF-8will 'randomly' fail withIOError: Failurewhenlistdir()is used.To reproduce the server must have a suitable locale installed, by for instance running
sudo dpkg-reconfigure localeson a Debian-based system. Then export the locale with theLANGenvvar and callsetlocale(LC_ALL, '')or similar in the server process. Finally, list a directory with files of suitable vintage. For French, the abbreviated month names 'févr.' 'août' and 'déc.' will trigger the problem.On the server side, the following traceback is recorded:
Or with code is modified to allow the original exception to propagate:
The solution is to decode the result from
time.strftimeas the documentation suggests. For Python 3, this has already been done by the standard library so the issue does not appear. Another way to avoid the issue is using a language neutral locale likeC.UTF-8.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
