I tried google at I could not find any plain text or HTML file that would use Arabic-Indic numerals. What was interesting, though that a search for "quran unicode" (without quotes). Brought me to http://www.sacred-texts.com which says that they've been using unicode since 2002 in their archives. Interestingly enough, their version of Qur'an uses ordinary digits for ayah numbers. See, for example <http://www.sacred-texts.com/isl/uq/050.htm>. I will change my mind on this issue when you present a machine-readable file with Arabic-Indic numerals and a program capable of reading it and show that this program uses the same number parsing algorithm as Python's int() or float(). _______________________________________________ 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
