Alexander Belopolsky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Another problem with bin() on floats is that it will be a one-way street because as far as I know, there is no function to convert a binary string back to a float.
My last thought on this issue is that it will be helpful to add tobase(f, n) and frombase(s,n) functions to math module (and I withdraw my suggestion of using %g-like notation due to the conflict between E for exponent and E for 0xE). On the other hand, there is no need to mess up with builtin bin/oct/hex because with math.tobase float-capable extensions will be trivially implementable. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3008> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
