For Python, this seems like a needless complication. It should be simple enough to replace the 'D's with 'E's prior to passing the strings to float. I notice that some varieties of Lisp and Scheme use 's', 'f', 'd', 'l' as the exponent marker for floats of different precisions (short, single, double, long double). But Python only has one precision of float. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7919> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
