New submission from Eric Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: PEP 3101 specifies that the empty format presentation type for float will always print at least one digit after the decimal point, but it does not do that if the number is output with an exponent:
works: >>> format(3.0, '') '3.0' fails: >>> format(3e200, '') '3e+200' As currently implemented, the code just maps the empty format specifier to 'g', and does not add the additional behavior specfied in the PEP. ---------- assignee: eric.smith components: Interpreter Core messages: 63438 nosy: eric.smith priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: empty specifier for float.__format__ does not always print at least one decimal digit versions: Python 2.6, Python 3.0 __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2264> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
