[issue6780] startswith error message is incomplete

Ezio Melotti ezio.melo...@gmail.com added the comment: In the examples you used byte strings for Py2 and Unicode strings for Py3. On Py3 the same example with byte strings gives an error similar to the one raised by Py2: bfoo.startswith([bfo]) Traceback (most recent call last): File stdin,

[issue6781] even exponentiation of negative numbers

New submission from benlbroussard benlbrouss...@gmail.com: Negative one squared should be one, but is negative one sometimes. pow(-1, 2) = 1 -1 ** 2 = -1 -1 ^ 2 = -1 The ** and ^ operators aren't working like expected, and the pow() documentation is incorrect since it says The two-argument

Mark Dickinson dicki...@gmail.com added the comment: This is not a bug: -1 ** 2 is parsed as -(1 ** 2), not (-1) ** 2. Take a look at: http://docs.python.org/reference/expressions.html#the-power-operator In -1 ^ 2, ^ is the bitwise exclusive-or operator, not the power operator. pow(x, y) is

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

New submission from Yuv Gre ubershme...@gmail.com: 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.
