pack fails with big BitStream #113

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What's the problem? (If this is a feature request then feel free to delete
all the questions and just say what you want!)

pack raises an exception when called with big BitStream by kwargs.

Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, May 20 2011, 10:25:34) 
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import bitstring
>>> bitstring.pack('bits=b', b=bitstring.BitString(bytes='0x00'*128))
[snip]
bitstring.CreationError: Invalid symbol in hex initialiser.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected: the same as pack's result by values (not by kwargs)

>>> import bitstring
>>> bitstring.pack('bits', bitstring.BitString(bytes = '\x00'*128))
BitStream('0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
00000000000000000000000...') # length=1024

Which version of bitstring are you using (bitstring.__version__), which
version of Python (e.g. 2.7, 3.2) and what platform
(Linux, Windows, etc.)

Python 2.6.6
bitstring version: 2.2.0
Mac OS X 10.6.7 64bit

Please provide any additional information below.

I suspect that str call would do harm at

Hi, thanks for the report. Strange bug at first sight (and I'm not too 
surprised that no one has reported it before) but I can see the problem and 
will fix it in the next version.

Cheers,

Scott
