That's not quite right because it doesn't always handle the sign correctly and doesn't force float output. So I think it should be this: '1.00000+0.66667j' >>> "{0.real:.5f}{0.imag:+.5f}j".format(complex(1, -2/3)) '1.00000-0.66667j' __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1588> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
