I'd be fine with adding '#' back to the formatting language for hex and oct.
And bin, I assume?

Except that it works incorrectly for negative numbers.
wow, that is a great point. i didn't think of this either. it makes
it very inconvenient (see below) and makes it more difficult to say
we've completed replaced the '%' operator.
I can't really think of any other way that doesn't involve converting
the
number to a string and then operating on that, just to get the sign.
here's one way of doing it without converting to a string first (it's ugly
too):
i = -45
'{0}0x{1:x}'.format('-' if i < 0 else '', abs(i))
'-0x2d'
Agreed, ick!
thx for putting it (back) in,
I didn't say I would, I said I would if a decision was reached :) I'd like
to see some more consensus, and I hope that Talin (the PEP author) chimes
in.
Eric.
