RECORD file when data file name contains comma

[ronaldoussoren]

Environment

• pip version: 18.1
• Python version: 3.7.1
• OS: macOS 14.1
• wheel: 0.32.3

Description

I'm not sure if this is an issue in pip, it might also be a problem with wheel or just unexpected behaviour.

I have a package containing a datafile that has a comma in its file name. When creating a wheel and then installing that wheel the RECORD file contains two lines:

package/other,data.dat,sha256=9jljVen42HXtXHKL7kl6flBZmawA_EkJI0VxHGxlzOs,10
"package/other,data.dat",,

The first line is also present in the generated wheel file, the second is added by pip.

Expected behavior

I'd expect 1 line for the file. If PEP 372 is the specification for the format of wheels the RECORD file should be a CSV file and the correct line would be:

"package/other,data.dat",sha256=9jljVen42HXtXHKL7kl6flBZmawA_EkJI0VxHGxlzOs,10

How to Reproduce

I've attached an sdist that contains a datafile as described above.

simple-package-1.0.tar.gz

Output

N/A, see rest of this issue.

Looks like a bug in wheel - see https://github.com/pypa/wheel/blob/master/wheel/wheelfile.py#L151. I suggest you report it to them.

[ronaldoussoren]

I agree. I've opened an issue in the wheel repo.
