Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment: I verified that 3.1 has same behavior. Doc says format strings "are built up from format characters" which "may be preceded by an integral repeat count". So I agree that such formats are bugs that should be reported and that ignoring repeat counts of nothing is a bug.
While I cannot apply and test the (trivial) patch, I read it and it looks sensible. Pending independent test, I would say apply. I am not familiar with whether it needs to be rebuilt against current code or not. ---------- keywords: +patch nosy: +tjreedy stage: -> commit review versions: +Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2 -Python 2.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3129> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
