Category: Unicode Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Joe Wreschnig (piman) Assigned to: M.-A. Lemburg (lemburg) Summary: Unicode comparison change in 2.4 vs. 2.5 Initial Comment: Python 2.5 changed the behavior of unicode comparisons in a significant way from Python 2.4, causing a test case failure in a module of mine. All tests passed with an earlier version of 2.5, though unfortunately I don't know what version in particular it started failing with. The following code prints out all True on Python 2.4; the strings are compared case-insensitively, whether they are my lowerstr class, real strs, or unicodes. On Python 2.5, the comparison between lowerstr and unicode is false, but only in one direction. If I make lowerstr inherit from unicode rather than str, all comparisons are true again. So at the very least, this is internally inconsistent. I also think changing the behavior between 2.4 and 2.5 constitutes a serious bug. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1564763&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
