How's it a shortcoming in int() that it doesn't do anything with, say, int(2.345,19)? (What would you like it to do?) Or are you saying that the fact that int(<a string>) lets you specify a base to interpret the string in is itself a shortcoming, and if so why? -- g _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
