Bug#608420: pythoncomplete.vim error

[John Eikenberry]

Package: vim
Version: 2:7.3.035+hg~8fdc12103333-1
Severity: normal

When writing a new python module (ie. and empty file), if you start it with a
module level doc string at the top and try to complete something in that doc
sting before closing it you get a traceback (below). It is caused by an
uninitialized variable in the exception handling block (parserline). This
variable is only set via the return values from the tokenizer which is where
the error is occurring (TokenError, "EOF in multi-line string").

The most obvious fix is just to make sure this variable is initialized in the
__init__ method as I've done in the attached patch (diff vs hg default of this
day).

I've reproduced this against upstream hg repo and have also reported it there
along with the same patch (related code didn't change).
     

--- here's the traceback, sans all but one of the  vim error lines
Error detected while processing function pythoncomplete#Complete:
line   35:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<string>", line 34, in vimcomplete
  File "<string>", line 57, in evalsource
  File "<string>", line 515, in parse
AttributeError: PyParser instance has no attribute 'parserline'


Hope this helps.
