General format. For a given precision ``p >= 1``, this rounds the number to ``p`` significant digits and then formats the result in either fixed-point format or in scientific notation, depending on its magnitude. The precise rules are as follows: suppose that the result formatted with presentation type ``e`` and precision ``p-1`` would have exponent ``exp``. Then if ``-4 <= exp < p``, the number is formatted as if with presentation type ``f`` and precision chosen in such a way as to give ``p`` significant digits. Otherwise, the number is formatted as if with presentation type ``e`` and precision ``p-1``. A precision of ``0`` is treated as equivalent to a precision of ``1``. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7051> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
