Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com> added the comment: I don't really see this as a bug in the behaviour. I'd always understood the purpose of the "at least one digit after the decimal" to be to make it possible to visually distinguish floats and integers, in the same way that repr and str already do.
>>> repr(1e100) '1e+100' >>> repr(1e5) '100000.0' If an exponent's present then the string's already clearly not an integer, so there's no need for the '.0'. ---------- _______________________________________ 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
