New submission from Eric Smith <e...@trueblade.com>: If no format specifier is supplied to a float, it's supposed to work like 'g', but with at least one digit after the decimal. This works for non-exponential notation:
>>> format(1., '') '1.0' >>> format(1., 'g') '1' But for exponential notation, it does not: >>> format(1e200, '') '1e+200' >>> >>> format(1e200, 'g') '1e+200' ---------- assignee: eric.smith components: Interpreter Core messages: 85386 nosy: eric.smith severity: normal status: open title: Float formatting with no type code produces incorrect output for exponential notation versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.0, Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5686> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
