Guido van Rossum added the comment: I agree with Mark and Stafan. Hex/oct/bin are only defined for integers. __int__ is ambiguous -- it has the same problem as (int) in C in that it applies to floats and then loses the fraction.
I think the problem with Ethan's ternary logic is that it tries to act as an index and yet doesn't want to be an integer -- that doesn't make a lot of logical sense. (You should use a dict to map from true/false/unknown, not a list of size three.) ---------- resolution: -> rejected stage: -> committed/rejected status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19988> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
