literal_eval incorrectly parsing ints












3















I am trying to use the ast.literal_eval function to parse a dictionary string into a dictionary. The issue I am having is that the function is incorrectly evaluating integers of the form 0420 as 272. Is there a better way to do this?



Example:



String:



{"neurons": [80, 140, 84, 5], "epochs": 0420}


Output



{'epochs': 272, 'neurons': [80, 140, 84, 5]}

    That's not incorrect parsing; in Python 2.x, numeric literals starting with a zero are octal (in 3.x, they're a syntax error). Where is this data coming from? What did you expect instead ("0420"? 420?)

    That's my bad. Yes I expected to get 420 in this case. Is there a way to do this effectively?

    You could parse it yourself, or pre-process the string to remove those leading zeros.
