[Jython-users] long/double conversion

[Barry H. <b.h...@sc...>]

Hi

Is the following behaviour correct?

Jython 2.0alpha1 on java1.2.2 (JIT: javacomp)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from time import *
>>> secs =  977232600L
>>> ctime(secs)
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: ctime(): 1st arg can't be coerced to double
>>> ctime(float(secs))
'Tue Dec 19 13:30:00 2000'
>>> 

In cpython it works without the cast:

Python 1.5.2 (#9, Feb  7 2000, 00:10:53)  [GCC 2.95.1 19990816 (release)] on linux2

>>> from time import *
>>> secs = 977232600L
>>> ctime(secs)
'Tue Dec 19 13:30:00 2000'
>>> 


cheers
