New submission from Severin Wünsch <swuen...@gmail.com>: The documentation starts the the string format parameter 'g':
General format. For a given precision p >= 1, this rounds the number to **p significant digits** and then formats the result in either fixed-point format or in scientific notation, depending on its magnitude. I think the behavior of format is inconsistent here: >>> format(0.1949, '.2g') returns '0.19' as expected but >>> format(0.1950, '.2g') returns '0.2' instead of '0.20' This behavior for float is in my opinion the correct one here >>> format(0.1950, '.2f') returns '0.20' ---------- messages: 311813 nosy: sk1d priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Keep trailing zeros in precision for string format option g type: behavior versions: Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32790> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
