New submission from Peter VG <pete...@gmail.com>: Since strings cannot reliably be converted to floats and back, plistlib should provide an option to treat the real datatype as strings/data or to use the Decimal library class. Currently, reading and then writing a real value can change its representation in the plist even if it has not been modified. For instance:
Read: <real>0.015</real> Written: <real>0.014999999999999999</real> or Read: <real>0.4</real> Written: <real>0.40000000000000002</real> ---------- messages: 161471 nosy: pvg priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: plistlib handling of real datatype versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14896> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
