Nobody is denying that SOME C90 implementations distinguish them, but it is no part of the standard - indeed, a C90 implementation is permitted to use ANY criterion for deciding when to display -0.0 and 0.0. C99 is ambiguous to the point of internal inconsistency, except when __STDC_IEC_559__ is set to 1, though the intent is clear. And my reading of Python's code is that it relies on C's handling of such values.
