yes. from logical point of view, this can happen. But i really doubt that if really there are users who would like to input number like that, means that they first use google pinyin method to input 一, then change to english input method to input . , then change to google pinyin again for the other 一; or maybe you mean they input the whole 一.一 words with google pinyin input method. To input 1, users only need to type one time keyboard, but to input 一, they need to type three times (yi SPACE). Of course, users can also input something accidentally, but we just need to give them some kind reminders. At least coders in my around will restrain their system users to input numbers with ASCII, and seems that users are still happy with the ASCII type numbers :). br, khy _______________________________________________ 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
