Eric V. Smith <e...@trueblade.com> added the comment: As I look at it a little closer, I think I'm going to change the message to: "Invalid format type specified". The code has determined that instead of a type that's a single character long, it's received "xx10d". That's because "xx" doesn't match any of "[[fill]align][sign][#][0][width][,][.precision]", so it must be the "[type]" field.
I'm open to a better message, though. Due to the variable width chars in the format_spec string, include the "xx10d" along with the error text is a little complicated. But maybe including it would be an improvement: "Invalid format type 'xx10d' found, expected a single character". ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13811> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
