[Python-modules-team] Bug#596071: python-pygraphviz: weird behaviour when naming file to read 'graph.dot'

[Alexander Heinlein]

Package: python-pygraphviz
Version: 1.0-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

When loading a graph from a file and using 'graph.dot' as the filename, the
program acts very weird and always reports:
 Warning:  syntax error in line 1 near '.'
Although there is no syntax error. Renaming the file from 'graph.dot' so
something other like "g.dot" doesn't issue the error and loads the file
correctly.

example file:
graph s {
 a -- b
}

example script:
#!/usr/bin/python
import pygraphviz
g = pygraphviz.AGraph("graph.dot")
print sorted(g.edges())

Both files are also attached.


Regards,
Alex
