Windows and Linux certainly generate different strings for special numbers from current Python, and I guess the origin is the libc on those platforms. But, as Python is moving away from the libc for file IO in Python 3K, perhaps string representation of floats would be considered, too. (In fact for all I know, perhaps it has already been considered.) Maybe you should email the python-3k-dev list? -Andrew _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
