New submission from Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com>: Since Python 2.3, PyArg_ParseTuple and friends give a DeprecationWarning for floating-point arguments where integers are expected. From http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.3/NEWS.txt:
- The PyArg_Parse functions now issue a DeprecationWarning if a float argument is provided when an integer is specified (this affects the 'b', 'B', 'h', 'H', 'i', and 'l' codes). Future versions of Python will raise a TypeError. Can we turn that DeprecationWarning into a TypeError for 2.7? (It's already a TypeError in 3.x.) I'd like to see things like 'range(-0.3)' and 'itertools.combinations(range(3), 5.1)' raise TypeError. N.B. The relevant format codes in 2.7 include 'I' and 'n' in addition to the six codes listed above. ---------- messages: 80649 nosy: marketdickinson severity: normal status: open title: PyArg_Parse* should raise TypeError for float parsed with integer format type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5080> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
