New submission from Armin Ronacher <armin.ronac...@active-4.com>:
ast.literal_eval does not properly handle complex numbers:
>>> ast.literal_eval("1j")
1j
>>> ast.literal_eval("2+1j")
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: malformed string
>>> ast.literal_eval("(2+1j)")
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: malformed string
Expected result:
>>> ast.literal_eval("1j")
1j
>>> ast.literal_eval("2+1j")
(2+1j)
>>> ast.literal_eval("(2+1j)")
(2+1j)
I attached a patch that fixes this problem.
