Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com> added the comment: Thanks, Alexandre! Agreed on both points. I don't really want to allow u'big' and u'little', but I think that's just my laziness talking. (Apart from that, I have a working patch.)
There's some precedent for not allowing the unicode versions: >>> float.__getformat__("double") 'IEEE, little-endian' >>> float.__getformat__(u"double") Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: __getformat__() argument must be string, not unicode But I admit it isn't particularly compelling. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1023290> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
