New submission from Jesse Hostetler <jessehostet...@gmail.com>:
The 'argparse' module gives a parse error for integer arguments written in scientific notation. I would expect this to work, since integers can be constructed from literals in scientific notation. Example (also attached): import argparse foo = int(1e3) # Works: foo = 1000 parser = argparse.ArgumentParser() parser.add_argument( "--foo", type=int ) parser.parse_args( ["--foo=1e3"] ) # error: argument --foo: invalid int value: '1e3' ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: argparse-int-scientific.py messages: 326409 nosy: jessehostetler priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: argparse int type does not accept scientific notation type: enhancement versions: Python 3.7 Added file: https://bugs.python.org/file47824/argparse-int-scientific.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34803> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
