mako.exceptions Tries to do b"bytes".split() when rendering text_error_template, and fails (in Python 3) #209
Description
Migrated issue, originally created by Anonymous
Magical combination:
- Python 3
- TemplateLookup being used with...
- ...module_directory
- Template's render() must fail (due to no such argument, for example)
- While handling exception, do mako.exceptions.text_error_template().render()
Result:
While trying to display error template, another exception is thrown because byte-strings don't have split().
"''During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred [...snip...] for line in module_source.split("\n"):
TypeError: Type str doesn't support the buffer API''"
Work-Around:
To "fix" this, change line 170 in mako/exceptions.py from:
for line in module_source.split("\n"):
...to...
for line in module_source.decode('utf-8').split("\n"):
I believe 'utf-8' will need to be replaced with something else.
