>>> x = 01000000000000000000000.0 The problem is in the parsenumber function in Python/ast.c. The solution seems to be very simple: just remove the entire branch that starts with "if (s[0] == '0')"; that branch is clearly a holdover from pre-Python 2.4 days when some octal literals were supposed to produce a negative int. Now I just have to figure out where to add tests for this. Maybe there should be a test_float_literal to parallel test_int_literal? _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3360> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
