Martin Panter added the comment: Related discussion and background in Issue 10581, although that report seems to be geared at extending the Unicode support even further (disallowing mixed scripts, allowing proper minus signs, full-width characters, Roman numerals, etc).
The existing support is actually documented if you know where to look; see the sixth note under the table at <https://docs.python.org/dev/library/stdtypes.html#typesnumeric>. I agree that the references for each constructor should also document this as well. ---------- nosy: +martin.panter _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25275> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
