Initial Comment:
Hallo!

OS:

OSF1 alpha04.faidor.de V4.0 1530 alpha

# cc -V
cc  (cc)
        Digital UNIX Compiler Driver 3.11
Compaq C V6.1-120 on Digital UNIX V4.0G (Rev. 1530)


Compiling and testing:

**********************************************************************
test_format
**********************************************************************
Then ...
We expected (repr): ''
But instead we got: "'%#o' % 0 == '00' != '0'"
test test_format failed -- Writing: "'%#o' % 0 == 
'00' != '0'", expected: ''


Version Python-2.1

Remark:

I found this error three times in the year 2000,
but resolved and for other Platforms

Kind regards
Hermann

The Compaq compiler is in violation of the C std if it 
produces "00" for printf("%#o", 0), and all Python does 
here under the covers is call the platform sprintf.

Sometimes we put ugly stuff inside Python to worm around 
platform C bugs, but in this case the Compaq compiler is 
the only known offender.  Not worth it.  If

printf("%#o", 0)

does produce two zeroes in a C program using this compiler, 
file a bug with them.  Does it?  I'm closing this as "won't 
fix" assuming it does.
