Yes, but I missed the None section. I looked closely at 'g', but didn't see anything like "this is the default". I will admit I was a bit frustrated to see things like the documentation for the format() builtin indicating that it calls value.__format__, but then couldn't find any documentation in the numeric types for float.__format__. From the documentation of the format() builtin: "The interpretation of format_spec will depend on the type of the value argument...", which suggested to me that at least the builtin types would have some stub documentation of their __format__ method, even if all it did was redirect the user to the section in the string doc: https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/string.html#format-string-syntax I'll open a doc issue about that. Thanks for the help. Skip -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
