Possibly missing the bit where decval looks to be a string containing the one character U+0034 DIGIT FOUR, and then suddenly has a whole mess of extra characters. :) Check out the fenx stuff, as that's the only non-stdlib code you have. Maybe it calls on a C extension module somewhere deep inside it. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
