New submission from Richard B. Kreckel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: When constructing a floating-point value, literals are apparently sometimes interpreted as octal integral types, although they contain exponent marker or/and decimal point. The presence of exponent marker or/and decimal point should suffice to identify it as floating-point.
Example: >>> x = 02120246124e0 >>> x = 02120246124.0 >>> x = 021202461241e0 ValueError: invalid literal for long() with base 8: '021202461241e0' >>> x = 021202461241.0 ValueError: invalid literal for long() with base 8: '021202461241.0' I am using Python 2.5.1 from openSuSE 10.3. ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 69677 nosy: richyk severity: normal status: open title: Inconsistent type-deduction of decimal floating-point versions: Python 2.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3360> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
