New submission from vt <v...@foilhead.net>: The 'b' format unit to PyArg_ParseTuple, PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords, and PyArg_Parse is described in the documentation (in Parsing arguments and building values) as representing a signed char, but actually represents an unsigned char.
Personally, I would say that this is a problem with the interpreter core, but 'b' has been an unsigned char since 2000 and fixing it now would probably break backwards compatibility of extensions. ---------- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation messages: 77964 nosy: georg.brandl, vt severity: normal status: open title: 'b' formatter is actually unsigned char _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4682> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
