[issue13118] Py_BuildValue format f incorrect description.
New submission from Félix-Antoine Fortin felixantoinefortin+pyt...@gmail.com: Python/C API Reference Manual, section Utilities, Parsing arguments and building values, function Py_BuildValue. The description for the format unit f is incorrect. It reads Same as d., as it should be Convert a C float to a Python floating point number. since f is not the same as d when converting double to Python float. This was corrected in the documentation of Python 3, from which the proposed description comes. -- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 145031 nosy: docs@python, felixantoinefortin priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Py_BuildValue format f incorrect description. versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue13118 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc amaur...@gmail.com added the comment: I've checked in the code: 'f' and 'd' are really the same (Python/modsupport.c). And in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stdarg.h, you can read: A float will automatically be promoted to a double. -- nosy: +amaury.forgeotdarc ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue13118 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
