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

[Martin MOKREJŠ]

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)

>>> 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
