New submission from Ezio Melotti <ezio.melo...@gmail.com>: On Py2.x u'%c' % char returns the wrong result if char is in range '\x80'-'\xFF': >>> u'%c' % '\x7f' u'\x7f' # correct >>> u'%c' % '\x80' u'\uff80' # broken >>> u'%c' % '\xFF' u'\uffff' # broken
This is what happens whit %s and 0x80: >>> u'%s' % '\x80' Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0x80 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128) >>> u'%c' % 0x80 u'\x80' u'%c' % '\x80' should raise the same error raised by u'%s' % '\x80'. ---------- assignee: ezio.melotti components: Interpreter Core, Unicode messages: 97334 nosy: ezio.melotti priority: high severity: normal stage: test needed status: open title: "u'%c' % char" broken for chars in range '\x80'-'\xFF' type: behavior versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7649> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
