I have this ready for checkin (with docs and tests). I'd like to get it in for this beta, since it does involved changed behavior, no matter how small ('1e+100' becomes '1E+100' with '%F'). But it relies on the platform's vsnprintf to do the right thing with 'F', so I'm worried about breakages on platforms I don't have access to. Resolving those issues might take a few days.Any advice on checking this in now, or waiting until after this beta is released?
I recommend doing it after the release. It's unlikely to be exercised much by the beta users so there's no real advantage. If you wait until afterwards, then there is time to let the buildbots have a go at it and reveal any cross-platform issues. Besides, Barry said something about getting meaner. Would hate to find out what he meant the hard way ;-) Raymond _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
