Notice that the default error message for this test is, "enter a number between 0 and 9", so the user gets a relatively clear message. The programmer's view, OTOH, is consistent with the Python range convention. > > Yes, this is in the docs, but using using args minimum and maximum, > how would one know, that it includes the start/end point? > Similarly, IS_LENGTH, IS_DECIMAL_IN_RANGE and so on...? > > OTOH: > IS_FLOAT_IN_RANGE(0,10) will accept 10, and will accept 0. > BTW equality comparision between floating points can be tricky, if the > endpoints are not represented exactly. > One, who worked with floating points may know this,but... > > > So: being backward compatible, what about new possibilities: > minInclusive, minExclusive, maxInclusive and maxExclusive, like in the > xsd definition? > > And does it makes sense to make all min and max values optional, so > you can have: enter an integer, which is larger than 2 (witout upper > limit)? Consider that the purpose of the validator functions is to process user input, not general computation.
