Eric V. Smith added the comment: For int, the spec is: [[fill]align][sign][#][0][width][,][.precision][type]
So, for "06d", "0" is matched as the literal 0, "6" is matched as width, and "d" is matched as type. For "\x00<6d", "\x00" is matched as fill, "<" as align, "6" as width, and "d" as type. For "\x006d", there's no align. So "\x00" cannot match as fill. "\x00" doesn't match anything else, so it's an invalid format specifier, thus the exception. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12546> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
