Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpyt...@gmail.com> added the comment:
literal_eval() is not purposed to evaluate arbitrary arithmetic expressions. It is only purposed to handle strings produced by repr() of some simple builtin objects. repr(6j+3) is '(3+6j)', not '(6j+3)' and not '(6j--3)', so it accepts the former form and not the latters. If Nick no longer works on this I propose to close this issue. literal_eval() supports now more types of expressions, but it is more strict in other cases. I have doubts that any test changes are applicable to the current code. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue17490> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
