Message 99329 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

Thanks, Alexandre! Agreed on both points. I don't really want to allow u'big' and u'little', but I think that's just my laziness talking. (Apart from that, I have a working patch.)

There's some precedent for not allowing the unicode versions:

float.getformat("double") 'IEEE, little-endian' float.getformat(u"double") Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in TypeError: getformat() argument must be string, not unicode

But I admit it isn't particularly compelling.
