Mathieu Pasquet added the comment: I understand the reasoning behind the feature, and the will to be unicode-compliant, but I think this might still break a lot of code (though it may never be detected).
I understand that isdecimal() is the safe way, because anything that is a decimal (Nd) can be translated to an integer by int() ; however, what is the recommended way to get something that isnumeric() into an int? unicodedata.normalize('NFKD', num) or unicodedata.normalize('NFKC', num)? Maybe str could have a method that does this, or methods performing exclusively on ascii values? Sorry for the noise, I did not find issue 10557 when I searched. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17331> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
