New submission from Jun <jkuroda....@gmail.com>: I was looking for a list of Unicode codepoints that str.isspace() returns true.
According to https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str.isspace, it's "Whitespace characters are those characters defined in the Unicode character database as “Other” or “Separator” and those with bidirectional property being one of “WS”, “B”, or “S”." However, for U+202F(https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/202f/index.htm) which is a "Separator" and its bidirectional property is "CS", str.isspace() returns True while it shouldn't if we follow the definition above. >>> "\u202f".isspace() True I'm not sure either the documentation should be updated or behavior should be updated, but at least those should be consistent. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation, Unicode messages: 339317 nosy: Jun, docs@python, ezio.melotti, vstinner priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: The behavior of str.isspace() for U+00A0 and U+202F is different from what is documented type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36502> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
