Invalid Syntax

[roberto-arista]

Hey @jenskutilek!

@typemytype and I are planning to improve the validation of code of extension listed in Mechanic. This function:
https://github.com/jenskutilek/RFUnicodeInfo/blob/master/UnicodeInfo.roboFontExt/lib/jkUnicode/tools/py2.py

Triggers the following exception:

  File "/Users/robertoarista/Documents/Repositories/extensionBundle/.extensions_cache/RFUnicodeInfo-master/UnicodeInfo.roboFontExt/lib/jkUnicode/tools/py2.py", line 5
    return eval("u'\U%08X'" % code)
                            ^
SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 2-3: truncated \UXXXXXXXX escape

Could you help us fix it?

Hi Roberto, that part of the code is a Python 2 compatibility function that is never called on Python 3.

The jkUnicode module has since been updated and this code was removed. I have now updated the bundled jkUnicode version in the UnicodInfo extension.

It should work for now, but the UI logic needs some love too. I'll see that I can find the time to update it.
