[issue10633] string.format() Unexpected output with numeric '#' prefix and 0 width
New submission from Alex Leone acle...@gmail.com:
When using the '#' to prefix a numeric argument in format() with a '0x' or
others, the 0-width padding takes into account the '0x' characters. This is
unexpected - the 0-width should NOT take into account the prefix.
Current Behavior:
{0:#02x}.format(10)
'0xa'
Expected Output:
{0:#02x}.format(10)
'0x0a'
(note that the '0a' is two characters long, as it should be)

Eric Smith e...@trueblade.com added the comment: I disagree that your expected output is how it should behave. I believe it's more likely that the user wants the entire field width specified. In addition, compatibility with %-formatting would dictate that we keep the current behavior. '%#02x' % 10 '0xa' -- nosy: +eric.smith ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10633 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

R. David Murray rdmur...@bitdance.com added the comment: Eric, I'm assuming you just forgot to close this. On the other hand, if you wanted a +1 from another dev, you've got it :) Besides the considerations you mentioned, changing this would be a significant backward incompatibility, and is therefore pretty much ruled out at this point, no matter what anyone might want. -- nosy: +r.david.murray resolution: - invalid stage: - committed/rejected status: open - closed ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10633 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
