Would you care to explain why this should not work and how this behavior is in violation of the language specification? It is perfectly valid expression. From a security perspective it may be an undesired feature. However Python does neither claim nor promise that eval is secure, see articel https://lwn.net/Articles/574215/ for more information on a failed attempt to sandbox Python. There is also ast.literal_eval() function, which provides limit evaluation of simple expressions. ---------- nosy: +christian.heimes _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42472> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
