[Python-apps-team] Bug#737987: pychecker: False warning with "complex" format string parameters

[Guido Günther]

Package: pychecker
Version: 0.8.19-8
Severity: normal

Hi,

using

foo = 'foo'
baz = 'baz'
print "%s%s" % ('bar' if foo else '', baz)

pychecker fails with

test.py:3: Format string argument count (0) doesn't match arguments (2)

It seems to fail to count the number of tuple arguments. Moving the 'if
.. else' outside of the tuple works around this.
Cheers,
 -- Guido
