[Numpy-discussion] numpy distutils patch

[Jarrod Millman]

Hey,

I was looking at numpy/distutils/ccompiler.py and noticed that it has
a fix for distutils.util.split_quoted.

Here is the relevant code from split_quoted in numpy.distutils.ccompiler:
-----------------------------------
def split_quoted(s):

<snip>

           if _has_white_re.search(s[beg+1:end-1]):
                s = s[:beg] + s[beg+1:end-1] + s[end:]
                pos = m.end() - 2
            else:
                # Keeping quotes when a quoted word does not contain
                # white-space. XXX: send a patch to distutils
                pos = m.end()

<snip>
-----------------------------------

Here is the relevant code from split_quoted in distutils.util:
-----------------------------------
def split_quoted(s):

<snip>

            s = s[:beg] + s[beg+1:end-1] + s[end:]
            pos = m.end() - 2

-----------------------------------

Does anyone know if a patch was ever submitted upstream?  If not, is
there any reason that a patch shouldn't be submitted?

Thanks,
