I'm less concerned about decimal points and the like, and more bothered by the fact that e.g., int(x, 16) accepts some, but not all, characters with the Hex_Digit property. This seems counter to the intent of the Unicode standard. [MAL] > My suggestion is to wait for the Unicode locale project to collect > locale based information on numeric formatting. [...] Sounds fine to me. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6632> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
