[IronPython] Adding strings to floats

[Dino Viehland]

Yep, we shouldn't be trying the conversion in this case, we'll get rid of this "feature".  Thanks for the report.

Do you want to help develop Dynamic languages on CLR? (http://members.microsoft.com/careers/search/details.aspx?JobID=6D4754DE-11F0-45DF-8B78-DC1B43134038)

Subject: [IronPython] Adding strings to floats

Hello all,

I've discovered a 'feature' of IronPython, that diverges fairly wildly
from the Python spec :

IronPython 1.0.60420 (Beta) on .NET 2.0.50727.42
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
 >>> 2.0 + "3.5"
5.5
 >>>

I think it speaks for itself...

All the best,


Michael Foord
