[Python-modules-team] Bug#698892: urwid: TypeError due to comparison of int and str

[brian m. carlson]

Package: python3-urwid
Version: 1.1.0-1
Severity: normal

When running an urwid-using program, I get the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urwid/container.py", line 379, in keypress
    key = self.__super.keypress(size, key)

    return self._original_widget.move_cursor_to_coords(maxvals, x, y)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urwid/container.py", line 2109, in move_cursor_to_coords
    if x > col and best is None:
TypeError: unorderable types: int() > str()

I can provide you with the program in which I see this bug, but I'm
fairly confident that this is a bug in urwid, and not my software.  I'm
suspicious of the "if type(x)==int" line in decoration.py:652; it seems
that if the data is not an integer, we probably don't want to pass it on
to a function that's going to expect an integer.
