I think there may be a bug in string.atoi and string.atol. Here's some
output from idle.
Python 2.3.4 (#2, Jan 5 2005, 08:24:51)
[GCC 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-5)] on linux2

IDLE 1.0.4
import string as s
s.atoi('2',3)
2
s.atoi('4',3)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in -toplevel-
s.atoi('4',3)
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/string.py", line 220, in atoi
return _int(s, base)
ValueError: invalid literal for int(): 4
s.atoi('12',11)
13
s.atoi('13',4)
7
s.atoi('12',4)
6
s.atoi('8',4)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#6>", line 1, in -toplevel-
s.atoi('8',4)
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/string.py", line 220, in atoi
return _int(s, base)
ValueError: invalid literal for int(): 8
s.atoi('4',3) should result in 11
s.atoi('13',4) should result in 31
s.atoi('12',4) should result in 30
s.atoi('8',4) is legitimate, but it generates an error.
Is this a bug, or am I missing something obvious?
TIA,
Mike
