OK, but this is only an issue with the difference between the str and repr of *strings*. The str function of collections *could* be modified to use str on numbers. The number of digits is irrelevance to the string formatting issue. The new Number ABC would make this switch easier, of course. _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
