[issue6857] float().__format__() default alignment

2009-09-08 Thread Mark Dickinson 

Mark Dickinson dicki...@gmail.com added the comment:

I've changed the default alignment for Decimal instances to right-aligned 
(so that it agrees with floats and ints) in r74723 (trunk), r74725 (py3k),
as agreed in the python-dev thread starting at:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2009-September/091640.html

Thanks for the decimal work, Mark. I notice that complex is also left
aligned, by default. I'll take a look at that.

[issue6857] float().__format__() default alignment

2009-09-07 Thread Stefan Krah 

New submission from Stefan Krah stefan-use...@bytereef.org:

format(float(0.12345), 7.0)  -  '0.1'

The default alignment should be 'left-aligned'.

[issue6857] float().__format__() default alignment

2009-09-07 Thread Mark Dickinson 

Mark Dickinson dicki...@gmail.com added the comment:

Hmm.  PEP 3101 does indeed say that left-aligned is the default, but it's 
a bit of a strange default for numeric types.  I'd expect integers (at 
least) to be right-aligned by default.

I'd be inclined to say that the current float formatting is correct, and 
that it's the Decimal formatting that's wrong.

2009-09-07 Thread Eric Smith 

Eric Smith e...@trueblade.com added the comment:

That is interesting. I'd agree that it's a bug in the PEP. Note that
%-formatting right aligns floats by default:

 '%7.0g' % 0.12345
'0.1'

I'll raise the issue on python-dev.

Eric.
