ValueError: invalid literal for int(): 1.0000000000e+00

[Martin MOKREJ©]

Hi,
is this a bug or "feature" that I have to use float() to make int() autoconvert
from it?

$ python
Python 2.3.4 (#1, Feb 14 2005, 10:00:27)
[GCC 3.3.5 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.5-r1, ssp-3.3.2-3, pie-8.7.7.1)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

a = 1
"%5.10e" % (a) '1.0000000000e+00' int("%5.10e" % (a)) Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ValueError: invalid literal for int(): 1.0000000000e+00 int(float("%5.10e" % (a))) 1

It's a feature. Integers don't have decimal points...
