Stefan Krah <ste...@bytereef.org> added the comment: Yes, from the point of view of decimal it's the right thing:
>>> x = Decimal("1e25").quantize(Decimal("1e30")) >>> x Decimal('0E+30') >>> '{:+.19e}'.format(x) '+0.0000000000000000000e+49' >>> The original magnitude should be traceable (the example is not perfect but the first thing that quickly came to mind). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31684> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
