Description of problem: running a script that uses python-feedparser, it works successfully with F21 system Python 2 but with system Python 3 exception is raised: "TypeError: decoding str is not supported" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): python3-feedparser-5.1.3-7.fc21.noarch How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: > python3 >>> import feedparser >>> feedparser.parse("http://bugs.libreoffice.org/buglist.cgi?type0-1-0=changedbefore&field0-1-0=changed&query_format=advanced&ctype=rss&field0-0-0=attachments.mimetype&value0-1-0=2015-06-01&value0-0-0=application/rtf&type0-0-0=equals") Actual results: File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/feedparser.py", line 3966, in parse data, result['encoding'], error = convert_to_utf8(http_headers, data) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/feedparser.py", line 3768, in convert_to_utf8 chardet_encoding = str(chardet.detect(data)['encoding'] or '', 'ascii', 'ignore') TypeError: decoding str is not supported Expected results: no exception Additional info: the upstream changelog for 5.2.0 mentions this, which looks relevant: * Issue 384 (fix chardet support in Python 3) https://github.com/kurtmckee/feedparser/blob/develop/NEWS so with any luck upgrade to 5.2.0 should fix it.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 21. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '21'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 21 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
python3-feedparser-5.2.0-1.fc22.noarch can't reproduce, bug apparently fixed in Fedora 22
