[issue1716] String format operator '%i' fails for large floats

Guido van Rossum added the comment: On the one hand, if you want to format a float like that, you should use "%.0f". On the other hand, this should either consistently fail or succeed, not depending on how large the float is. I think in 2.6 we can't change this, but in 3.0, I propose that all t

[issue1716] String format operator '%i' fails for large floats

New submission from Christopher Tur Lesniewski-Laas: To reproduce: >>> '%i' % 12345678901.0 TypeError: int argument required Contrast with: >>> '%i' % 1234567890.0 '1234567890' Previous experience led me to expect that the '%i' format code would work for all numerical types. Admittedly, there'

[issue1715] Make pydoc list submodules

New submission from Gustavo J. A. M. Carneiro: Often python extension modules define submodules like this: static PyObject * initfoo_xpto(void) { PyObject *m; m = Py_InitModule3("foo.xpto", foo_xpto_functions, NULL); [...] return m; } PyMODINIT_FUNC initfoo(void) { PyObject

[issue1694] floating point number round failures under Linux

Tim Peters added the comment: Nice example! Yes, the round() implementation is numerically naive, in this particular case ignoring that x+0.5 isn't necessarily representable (it multiplies the input by 10.0, adds 0.5, takes the floor, then divides by 10.0, and in this specific case adding 0.5 lo

[issue1507224] sys.path issue if sys.prefix contains a colon

Mattie added the comment: This is also proving to be a problem in various places for applications embedding Python 2.5 on Linux. For example, my EventScripts plugin embeds Python into Counter-Strike: Source game servers. It's not uncommon at all for these servers to use a colon in their path name

Mark Dickinson added the comment: It's worth noting that Python's round function doesn't quite work as advertised, either: Python 2.6a0 (trunk:59634M, Dec 31 2007, 17:27:56) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5370)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more inform

[issue1694] floating point number round failures under Linux

Tim Peters added the comment: Right, Unix-derived C libraries generally do IEEE-754 "round to nearest/even" rounding, while Microsoft's do "add a half and chop" rounding. The Python reference manual says nothing about this, and neither does the C standard (well, C89 doesn't; unsure about C99).

[issue1694] floating point number round failures under Linux

Mark Dickinson added the comment: Is there anything in the Python documentation that implies that '%.1f' % 2.25 should be the string '2.3'? I know that the documentation for the builtin round function implies that round(2.25, 1) should be (the closest representable float to) 2.3, but that's

[issue1714] ConfigParser.py do not allow leading (and trailing) space in values.

New submission from Miroslav Suchy: I have some configuration params with leading space. And program (getmail4) which use ConfigParser.py. ConfigParser strip all leading (and trailing) spaces from values. This is very often the most wanted result. But if I want value with leading space I have no

[issue1713] posixpath.ismount() claims symlink to a mountpoint is a mountpoint.

Christian Heimes added the comment: A fix for the problem is easy. One has to replace os.stat() with os.lstat(): def ismount(path): """Test whether a path is a mount point""" try: s1 = os.stat(path) s2 = os.stat(join(path, '..')) except os.error: return False

[issue1455] VS2008, quick hack for distutils.msvccompiler

Martin v. Löwis added the comment: This issue is closed, and didn't really deal with VS 2005 at all, so we should avoid tracking any further changes in it. I personally don't care about the PCbuild8 folder at all. It can be removed, updated, replaced with that script - whatever people like most.
