Message 80919 - Python tracker (original) (raw)
I am running IDLE on Windows XP. The version information when IDLE boots is:
Python 3.0 (r30:67507, Dec 3 2008, 20:14:27) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
I ran the following test case:
>>> ' '.isprintable()
False
However, according to http://docs.python.org/3.0/library/stdtypes.htm#str.isprintable, "...the ASCII space (0x20) ... is considered printable."
This seems pretty broken to me.
