But then after doing "x = 5j", "-0.0 + 5j" and "-0.0 + x" would have different values. Yuck! > repr() (and str()) should keep zero real part if imaginary part is negative > and output period if real part is zero Sorry, I don't see how this helps. What do you want the repr of (for example) "complex(-0.0, 5.0)" to be, and why? What about the cases with 0 in the imaginary part? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23229> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
