Nobody noticed the since Python 3.7 (released in June 2018). Well, even test_float didn't use it :-D (I just fixed the typo yesterday.) So I expect that no one uses it. > I'd like to bet that there are at least a few people out there using > float.__getformat__, despite that its docstring says "You probably don't want > to use this function". Yeah, I changed my mind and I prefer to leave it unchanged for now. It doesn't prevent me to optimize _PyFloat_Pack8(). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46852> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
