Category: Python Interpreter Core Group: Python 2.6 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nick Coghlan (ncoghlan) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Insane format string should cause ValueError Initial Comment: The documentation explicitly disallows mixing positional string interpolation and named string interpolation, but the following fails to raise an error: >>> "%s%(red)s" % dict(red=1, blue=2) "{'blue': 2, 'red': 1}1" Turning it around results in the wrong *kind* of error: >>> "%(red)s%s" % dict(red=1, blue=2) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: not enough arguments for format string A format string that mixes named and unnamed conversion specifiers should trigger a ValueError. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1539955&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
