Hi everybody,
I'm using SPE 0.8.3.c as my python editor.
I'm using the str() function and i got a very odd error.
I'm trying to do this: print str("HI")
When i'm writing this line in the shell it prints: HI
When it's in my code (it's the only line) i'm getting the following
error:
file "c:\Python25\lib\local.py" line 242, in str
return format("%.12g",val)
file "c:\Python25\lib\local.py" line 145, in format
formatted = percent % value
TypeError, float argument required
any idea? It's worked for the entire day and unfortunately when i
started my testing it raised this erroe/
I should start by asking why you're using using str() on a string
literal? It would seem to just be a waste of time to convert a string
to a string.
Next, I'll have to insist that you copy/paste your error messages to the
email; by retyping it you got the wrong file name. The file with that
line in it is locale.py
So now, you have a *locale* problem. Somebody other than I will have to
help. And all the effort I put in before noticing your typo is wasted.
You'd better describe your environment more thoroughly. Python version,
OS, locale, and just how you're running this script. You said it's "the
only line" so are you omitting the shebang line? Perhaps you're running
on Windows? If so, you can copy from a cmd window using
right-click-drag, at least if Quick-Edit is on.
