    copied!<p>I'm having a somewhat odd problem with Python(2.6.2) <del>that I've come to the conclusion is a bug in the Vista port (I cant replicate it in XP or Linux).</del></p> <p>I have a list of users, encrypted passwords, and their host that I am storing in a larger list (it's acting as a sort of database).</p> <p>This all works fine and dandy, except for that there is an inconsistency in how a single user's data is stored and how the group is stored.</p> <p>created by the 'create_user' method</p> <blockquote> <p>['localhost', 'demo', 'demouserpasswordhash']</p> </blockquote> <p>created by the 'create_database' method</p> <blockquote> <p>['\xff\xfel\x00o\x00c\x00a\x00l\x00h\x00o\x00s\x00t\x00', '\x00d\x00e\x00m\x00o\x00', '\x00d\x00e\x00m\x00o\x00u\x00s\x00e\x00r\x00p\x00a\x00s\x00s\x00w\x00o\x00r\x00d\x00h\x00a\x00s\x00h\x00\r\x00\n']</p> </blockquote> <p>I don't understand why it's doing this, given how simple the code for it is:</p> <pre><code># ----- base functions def create_user ( user_data ): return user_data.split(":") def show_user ( user_data ): print "Host: ", user_data[0] print "Username: ", user_data[1] print "Password: ", user_data[2] print def create_database ( user_list ): database = [] for user in user_list: database.append( create_user( user ) ) return database def show_database( database ): for row in database: show_user( row ) # ----- test area users = open( "users.txt" ) test_user = create_user( "localhost:demo:demouserpasswordhash" ) db = create_database( users ) print db[0] print test_user # ----- </code></pre> <p>Anyone have any similar experiences with this or is it just me?</p>
