New submission from Antti Haapala: https://docs.python.org/3/library/decimal.html#decimal.Context.to_eng_string
The docstring for `Context.to_eng_string` says "Converts a number to a string, using scientific notation.", which is, less extra comma, exactly the docstring for `Context.to_sci_string`. It should probably say "using engineering notation". Additionally, docstring for Decimal.to_eng_string uses the term "an engineering-type string", which no one uses outside the said docstring. It should probably also say "Convert to a string using engineering notation." ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 272259 nosy: docs@python, ztane priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: decimal.Context.to_eng_string wrong docstring _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27720> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
