[issue8691] Doc: left alignment is not the default for numbers

Georg  Eric, I believe this simple patch is correct, and should go in 3.2.

Westley, thanks for the patch. Numbers are right-aligned because that is the 
traditional default.

The committer should add Westley Martinez to misc/ACKS

[issue8691] Doc: left alignment is not the default for numbers

2011-02-05 Thread Westley Martínez 

Westley Martínez aniko...@gmail.com added the comment:

It seems  is only the default for numbers.  is the default for strings, 
lists, sets, dicts, etc. I have made a patch, though Eric knows the exact 
semantics.

I wonder what the rationale for having numbers use  is.

[issue8691] Doc: left alignment is not the default for numbers

2010-05-11 Thread Terry J. Reedy 

New submission from Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu:

As reported on python-list by Alan G Isaac,
Lib Ref 6.1.3.1. Format Specification Mini-Language, for instance
http://docs.python.org/dev/py3k/library/string.html#formatstrings

wrongly says in the alignment section

''Forces the field to be left-aligned within the available space (This is 
the default.)

This latter, of course, is not true for number fields.

(This is the default.) could be replaced by (the string default).
(in any case, the '.' should be outside the () unless one is added after 
'space' before '(') and (the number default) added to the next line. Or 
instead the issue of defaults could be addressed in the text below the table.

I am assuming that this issue affects 2.6/7.
