New submission from Stefan Krah:
Making the _decimal part of #17705 a separate issue. I noticed that
decimal.py does not allow a newline as a fill character:
Python 3.3.0rc2+ (default:50dd7426b880, Sep 25 2012, 15:52:28)
[GCC 4.4.3] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> sys.modules['_decimal'] = None
>>> from decimal import *
>>> format(Decimal(123), "\n<10")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.3/decimal.py", line 3768, in __format__
spec = _parse_format_specifier(specifier, _localeconv=_localeconv)
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.3/decimal.py", line 6176, in
_parse_format_specifier
raise ValueError("Invalid format specifier: " + format_spec)
ValueError: Invalid format specifier:
<10
The feature isn't particularly useful, but it would be easiest for
_decimal to support it rather than having another special case.
Are you okay with the decimal.py patch?
