Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Python Interpreter Core Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Fredrik Lundh (effbot) Assigned to: Neal Norwitz (nnorwitz) Summary: floating point literals don't work in non-US locale in 2.5 Initial Comment: According to reports on comp.lang.python, the current SVN trunk fails to handle floating point literals if the locale is changed: >>> import locale >>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '') 'German_Germany.1252' >>> 3.141592 3.0 This works just fine in 2.4.2. See the later portions of the thread "build curiosities of svn head (on WinXP)" for more details: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_ frm/thread/226584dd47047bb6/e609cb1a0d47e98f ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Brett Cannon (bcannon) Date: 2006-01-18 23:12 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=357491 This still fails on OS X 10.4.4: AssertionError: using eval('3.14') failed for eu_ES This is using rev. 42094. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Fredrik Lundh (effbot) Date: 2005-12-29 12:37 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=38376 Verified and fixed in SVN. Assinging to Neal, in case he wants to add an extra locale test pass to his build robot. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Fredrik Lundh (effbot) Date: 2005-12-29 10:52 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=38376 Looks good to me. I'll check this in shortly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Hye-Shik Chang (perky) Date: 2005-12-29 00:22 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=55188 The new patch tests it along with other locale-dependent tests on test__locale. How about this? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Fredrik Lundh (effbot) Date: 2005-12-28 11:00 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=38376 I'm not sure you can make too many assumptions about the locale in the test suite, but I'm pretty sure that it would be a good idea to let your "build robot" run the test suite twice; once with the standard C locale, and once with a non-US locale (e.g. sv_SE.utf8 which does include some odd characters, different date and money formats, and a decimal comma). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Neal Norwitz (nnorwitz) Date: 2005-12-28 10:16 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=33168 Wow, I thought for sure I broke it with my recent patch to remove support for hex floats. But it looks like just an AST problem (which I can be blamed for too :-). The patch looks fine, but could you add tests so this doesn't happen again. Thanks! I'll be back in a week and try to fix it then if no one gets back to it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Hye-Shik Chang (perky) Date: 2005-12-28 06:04 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=55188 Okay. Here's a fix. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Hye-Shik Chang (perky) Date: 2005-12-28 05:41 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=55188 This looks like a bug introduced by AST import; r39757 is okay but r39762 has such an error. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Fredrik Lundh (effbot) Date: 2005-12-28 03:02 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=38376 I just confirmed this on Unix: $ export LANG=sv_SE.utf8 $ ./python Python 2.5a0 (41806M, Dec 25 2005, 12:12:29) [GCC 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.2 2.96-112.7.2)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> 3.14 3.1400000000000001 >>> import locale >>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "") 'sv_SE.utf8' >>> 3.14 3.0 >>> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1391872&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
