Hi, this is a followup to the above thread. Mike Hansen wrote a doctest for gp.py and we hit the following problem: sage -t devel/sage/sage/interfaces/gp.py ********************************************************************** File "/Users/mabshoff/sage-3.1.2.alpha3/tmp/gp.py", line 522: sage: gp.new_with_bits_prec(pi, 100) Expected: 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028842 Got: 3.141592653589793238462643383 ********************************************************************** 1 items had failures: 1 of 3 in __main__.example_27 ***Test Failed*** 1 failures.

But the above seems either related or a similar bug. We are tracking the issue at #4023 Cheers, Michael --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
