[Biopython-dev] ToEol in Martel

[Andrew Dalke]

Cayte:

That's not what I get.  Here's my test:

>>> import Martel
>>> amino_acid_ref_journal_line =
artel.Group( "amino_acid_ref_journal_line",
...                                 Martel.Str( "AAREFJ" ) +
...
                                Martel.ToEol( "amino_acid_ref_journal" ) )
>>>
>>> parser = amino_acid_ref_journal_line.make_parser()
>>> from xml.sax import saxutils
>>> parser.setContentHandler(saxutils.XMLGenerator())
>>> parser.parseString("AAREFJ    1 J IMMUNOL 150: 4985-4995 (1993)\n")
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<amino_acid_ref_journal_line>AAREFJ<amino_acid_ref_journal>    1 J IMMUNOL
150: 49
85-4995 (1993)</amino_acid_ref_journal>
</amino_acid_ref_journal_line>

This has "<amino_acid_ref_journal>" include the spaces.

>Is this how ToEol should work?

No.  ToEol should store all the whitespace - and everything else -
up to the end of line character(s).

What happens when you do this same test?
