Armin Ronacher <armin.ronac...@active-4.com> added the comment: Indeed, it accepts parentheses in 2.6 now, but not in 2.5 or earlier.
Why not the other way round? Somewhere there has to be a limit. And if you write down complex numbers you usually have the imaginary part after the real part. But let's try no to make this a bikeshed discussion. If you say that literal_eval can safely evaluate the repr() of builtins (with the notable exception of reprs that eval can't evaluate either [like nan, inf etc.]) and probably a bit more it should be fine :) _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4907> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
