I'd check with Barry, but given that .format() is a new feature in
these releases anyway and this is a pretty small addition to one tiny
bit of code I would have been okay with it if I were release manager.

I finally have some cycles for this. Is it okay to add '#' to hex, bin, and
oct for str.format(), even though it's now after the beta?

Of course.

I'd be fine with adding '#' back to the formatting language for hex and

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.
