R. David Murray added the comment: You appear to be mixing up % style formatting and 'format' style formatting, especially since you seem to be using both in your examples, which is redundant.
Please see http://docs.python.org/2.7/library/string.html#format-string-syntax for the explanation of the format method, including the % presentation type. Your questions will probably be answered better and more thoroughly if you post to the python-lits mailing list (the tracker is not a place to get help, I'm afraid), but some quick hints: In Python2.7, 1/10 is 0. In a 'format' format string you can get what it sounds like you want by doing this: >>> '{:.2f}%'.format(12.67777) '12.68%' In % style formatting you would do >>> '%.2f%%' % 12.67777 '12.68%' This is all well documented, but if you can see places it could be clarified, please let us know. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray resolution: -> invalid stage: -> committed/rejected status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17207> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
