The robotparser.py module currently lives in Tools/webchecker. In
preparation for its migration to Lib, I made the following changes:
* renamed the test() function _test
* corrected the URLs in _test() so they refer to actual documents
* added an "if __name__ == '__main__'" catcher to invoke _test()
when run as a main program
* added doc strings for the two main methods, parse and can_fetch
* replaced usage of regsub and regex with corresponding re code
- same trick with "import wcnew; webchecker = wcnew" as above
- updated readhtml() method to handle pair representation; used
new name suppression infrastructure from wcnew.py to suppress
processing name anchors
[And untabified --GvR]
- added -t and -a arguments
- added "import wcnew; webchecker = wcnew" in place of "import
webchecker" (I assume that if you're happy with the changes, you'll
just replace webchecker.py with wcnew.py, but if I were to do that,
the diffs would be incomprehensible)
- fixed buggy -v argument (I think you got out of sync with the
way verbosity was handled in webchecker vs. wcgui between 1.5 and
1.5.2)
- made -v actually do something by adding a call to c.setflags()
(probably the same problem as above)
- updated references to URLs to accommodate wcnew.py's pair
representation; added appropriate calls to format_url() to handle
display; added argument to ListPanel() initialization to provide
access to format_url()
[And untabified --GvR]
- same fixes from webchecker.py
- incorporated small diff between current webchecker.py and 1.5.2
- fixed bug where "extra roots" added with the -t argument were being
checked as real roots, not just as possible continuations
- added -a argument to suppress checking of name anchors
[And untabified --GvR]
- forced new done origins to set errors if they're in self.bad (fixes
bug where only the first of a number of errorful references to a
link is reported under some circumstances)
- suppressed adding duplicates to self.todo list (cleans up printout
in wcgui details)
Unfortunately his code breaks wcgui.py in a way that's not easy
to fix. I expect that this is a temporary situation --
eventually Sam's changes will be merged back in.
(The changes add a -t option to specify exceptions to the -x
option, and explicit checking for #foo style fragment ids.)
