Thank you Mark and Eric. > I'll note that the paper is proposing a 'z' modifier to the sign, so I guess > for us that would translate to: [sign[optional-z]] instead of just sign.

The C++ paper proposes [sign][z] (i.e. you can have the `z` alone without an explicit +/-), and this is what I implemented in the Python PR. My original proposal with tilde was discarded. > My only reservation is Mark's comment: """For Decimal, we'd need to "own" > the string formatting, taking that responsibility away from mpdecimal, but > there are already other reasons to do that.""" In the PR I was able to avoid taking that on by preprocessing the format string before handing it to mpdecimal. The code was already doing such things to handle the NULL fill character. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45995> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
