Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com> added the comment: The reference to the language spec was really just a way to avoid spelling out all the details (again) about the precise form of a floating-point string; apart from the accepted set of digits, the forms are exactly the same (optional sign, numeric part, optional exponent, ...); spelling it all out twice gets a bit tiresome.
Would it be acceptable to add a note to the current documentation describing the alternative digits that are accepted? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10610> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
