Bug#776078: kupfer: calculator plugin: decimal separator is not localized

[Ulrik Sverdrup]

I'm normally not an enemy of localization, but adapting the number
syntax in calculator is contrary to the construction of the plugin. It's
documented like this:

> The Calculator uses python's math and complex math modules, and parses
expressions as Python expressions.

So from upstream’s side, it will not change in the existing calculator.
If you reimagine a calculator plugin and implement it, not based on
python expressions, it's welcome as an addition either to replace it or
be a separate plugin alongside the existing one.

Hi Oliver,

Thanks for reporting bugs.
I'll forward this issue to kupfer's upstream. It will take time.

Regards,
 Hugo

Bug#776078: kupfer: calculator plugin: decimal separator is not localized

[Oliver Grimm]

Package: kupfer
Version: 0+v208-5
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n

Dear Maintainer,

kupfer does not correctly handle localized decimal separators with the
calculator plugin.
To reproduce try:
- be sure to run kupfer with a locale that uses a different decimal separator
than . (here: German locale with ,)
- start kupfer
- be sure to enable the calculator plugin in the settings
- type = to start the calculator mode
- enter 1000 * 1,1
- kupfer returns the error message complex() argument must be a string or
number
- typing =1000*1.1 works fine, though.


regards,
Oliver
