Yes, I'd think the decisions are deliberate. Floats follow printf(), this is from the manual for 'e': "The exponent always contains at least two digits; if the value is zero, the exponent is 00." And decimal follows the specification at http://speleotrove.com/decimal/ . Of course Python's format() could decide to override the specification, but it would lead to more code complexity. But I don't think that mixing float/decimal output is a common use case. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36622> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
