Eric V. Smith added the comment: The PEP 3101 float formatting code (in Objects/stringlib/formatter.h) uses PyOS_ascii_formatd for all specifier codes except 'n'. So applying the patch would fix the issue that was originally brought up in msg58485.
I think the approach of the patch (if not its content, I haven't inspected it yet) is correct. Fix the underlying code and benefit from this everywhere. I don't think we should change the tests to be more tolerant, I think we should be consistent across platforms. My only concern is breaking code in the wild. This seems like a change with wide-reaching implications. I think 'n' should also be addressed. It calls PyOS_snprintf directly. I'll review the patch and comment back here. Unfortunately, I don't have a Windows box set up for testing. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1600> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
