Benjamin, which docs are you looking at here?  The ones at:

http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#string-formatting-operations

say:

"""Floating point format. Uses lowercase exponential format if exponent is 
less than -4 or not less than precision, decimal format otherwise."""

which seem quite specific to me (though it could be made clearly exactly 
*what* exponent is meant here).
