Hi,
2009/4/29 <skip at pobox.com>:
Someone please tell me I'm not going mad. I could have sworn that once upon a time attempting to convert numeric strings to ints or floats if they contained whitespace raised an exception. As far back as 1.5.2 it appears that float(), string.atof() and string.atoi() allow whitespace. Maybe I'm thinking of trailing non-numeric, non-whitespace characters.
You are maybe referring to the Decimal constructor: decimal.Decimal(" 123") fails with 2.5, but works with 2.6. (issue 1780)
