New submission from Mark Summerfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: With 2.5.2 and 30b1 strings don't round trip like numbers do.
I guess it has been like this a long time so isn't a bug, but it does seem inconsistent. Both 2.5.2 and 30b1: >>> x = 5 >>> x == int(repr(x)) True >>> x = "Test Text" >>> x == str(repr(x)) False The reason is that an extra set of enclosing quotes are added. ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 68728 nosy: mark severity: normal status: open title: strings don't seem to roundtrip with repr() type: behavior versions: Python 2.5, Python 3.0 _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3198> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
