Yes, yes, sure, but not the contents of variables, > I see no reason not to make a similar promise for numeric literals. Wait what, literas? The example was >>> float('١٢٣٤.٥٦') Which doesn't have any numeric literals in them at all. Do that work? Nope, it's a syntax error. Too badm that would have been cool, but whatever. Why would this be a problem: >>> T1234 = float('١٢٣٤.٥٦') >>> T1234 1234.56 But this OK? >>> T١٢٣٤ = float('1234.56') >>> T١٢٣٤ 1234.56 I don't see that. Should we bother to implement ١٢٣٤.٥٦ as a literal equivalent to 1234.56? Well, not unless somebody askes for it, or it turns out to be easy. :-) But that's another question. _______________________________________________ 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
