It looks like I was wrong in my analysis of the problem: I thought I was using the most recent implementation of PyOS_* functions in my test codes, but the ones in 2.6 are not the same as the ones in the current trunk. So the problem may be easier to fix that what I first thought: simply providing our own PyOS_ascii_formatd (and similar for float and long double) may be enough, and since we don't care about locale (%Z and %n), the function is simple (and can be pulled out from python sources). We would then use PyOS_ascii_format* (locale independant) instead of PyOS_snprintf (locale dependant) in str/repr implementation of scalar arrays. Does that sound acceptable to you ? cheers, David _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
