R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: Note that this is a regression relative to 2.6, where the same call returns '' (which is different from what it returns on linux, where the result would be '%f', or OSX, where the result would be 'f'). (Tests done on windows XP using pythons installed from the python.org installers.)
My guess is that the difference between python 2.6 and python 2.7+ is issue 4804. I'm therefore adding the nosy list from that issue to this one. For the OP's benefit: my guess is that this is a bug in the Microsoft C runtime, but we probably need to provide a workaround for it in Python. ---------- nosy: +amaury.forgeotdarc, krisvale, loewis, mhammond, ocean-city, r.david.murray versions: +Python 3.1, Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10762> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
