[issue6759] zipfile.ZipExtFile.read() is missing universal newline support

Ryan Leslie added the comment: Hi Art, Thanks for working on this. I've taken a look at the patch. The fix to read_test looks correct. Of course, I would consider a more descriptive variable name than 'b'. The changes to read() are an improvement, but I think we need to be careful when we rep

[issue6783] Add a builtin method to 'int' for base/radix conversion

Mark Dickinson added the comment: This seems like the sort of idea that should be floated on the python- ideas mailing list or comp.lang.python first, both to find out what support there is and to pin down precise semantics. We already have int to string conversions in bases 2, 8, 10 and 16;

[issue6783] Add a builtin method to 'int' for base/radix conversion

New submission from Yuv Gre : In javascript and java each number has a toString method which allows for easy string representation in different bases. If the function int(x[, base]) exists as a builtin, the inverse should at least be somewhere in the standard library. Personally I believe a "t
