Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Python Interpreter Core Group: Python 2.6 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Marc W. Abel (gihon) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Print identical floats consistently Initial Comment: Hello again and thank you, This is a rewrite of now-closed bug #1534769. As you know, >>> print .1 >>> print (.1,) give different results because the __str__ call from print becomes a __repr__ call on the tuple, and it stays a __repr__ beneath that point in any recursion. >From the previous discussion, we need behavior like this so that strings are quoted inside tuples. I suggest that print use a third builtin that is neither __str__ nor __repr__. The name isn't important, but suppose we call it __strep__ in this feature request. __strep__ would pass __strep__ down in the recursion, printing floats with __str__ and everything else with __repr__. This would then >>> print .1 and >>> print (.1,) with the same precision.
