5. Error statistics

Here is a list of all errors discovered since first compilation.

5.1. Run-time type errors

These are errors that would have been caught in a more strongly-typed language.

  1. In processArguments(), the values from the FieldStorage constructor are instances, not simple strings; it is necessary to extract their .value attribute to get the actual contents.

  2. At one point convert() was going to take three arguments, including the original page name and section, for better error reporting. I changed my mind but didn't change the definition of this function.
