Bug: Reading (decoding) values '' with dbfpy
Module: fields.py
Function: decodevalue()
Description:
When a DBF-file has the * (, , ...) character in one of the fields, an error message appears
'invalid literal for int() with base 10: '***' '
I propose the following change to the decode function:
def decodeValue(self, value):
"""Return a number decoded from ``value``.
If decimals is zero, value will be decoded as an integer;
or as a float otherwise.
Return:
Return value is a int (long) or float instance.
"""
value = value.strip(" \0")
if "." in value:
# a float (has decimal separator)
return float(value)
# NEW francisgg: * per whitespaces
if "*" in value:
value=value.replace('*', ' ')
return value
elif value:
# must be an integer
return int(value)
else:
return 0
Finally, I am a beginner and I hope your opinion.
