Hi,
I don't understand how we got to arbitrary expressions.
I think here: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2015-July/034701.html
There was probably an edge case or two, but I wasn't expecting str(eval(s)) to be the answer, and one I'm not sure I'd want.
As I pointed out earlier, it's not exactly str(eval(s)). Also, what's your concern with the suggested approach? There are no security concerns as there would be with eval-ing arbitrary strings. Eric.
