I don't understand. As far as I can see '%.2f' % 2.545 is returning the correct result: there is no bug here, so no need to reopen. '%.2f' should *not* return 2.55; it should return 2.54, which is exactly what it does. round(2.545, 2) should also return 2.54, but returns 2.55 instead; issue 1869 is already open for this. You're correct that the float formatting doesn't use round: it does whatever the platform C library's sprintf does. _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5118> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
