Summary: struct.pack raises TypeError where it used to convert
Initial Comment:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ python2.4 -c "import struct;
struct.pack('>H', 1.0)"
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ python2.5 -c "import struct;
struct.pack('>H', 1.0)"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/struct.py", line 63, in pack
return o.pack(*args)
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for &: 'float'
and 'long'
This might have appeared as part of the struct
optimizations; if struct isn't going to convert anymore
for performance reasons, I think this should be
mentioned in the release notes. Though personally I
would prefer struct go back to converting its arguments.

I'd like to see a deprecation warning so old code continues
to work. struct is way to loose and needs to be tightened
up, but that might not fully happen until py3k.

I think that's a question for python-dev.

That wasn't really intentional, but the old behavior looks a bit suspect:
$ python2.4 -c "import struct; print repr(struct.pack('>H', 1.6))"
'\x00\x01'
We could change it to check for floats and do a DeprecationWarning?
