I am considering writing a PEP for the inclusion of an engineering format specifier, and would appreciate input from others.
I tested that input is no problem, so the only question is output.
Do you think this idea has enough merit to make it to PEP status?
I think it has enough merit to be considered. A minor addition to .format() specifiers for 3.whenever would probably not require a PEP. (It is too late at night for me to think about anything concrete at the moment, though.) A concrete proposal on the python-ideas list might be enough. I am not sure if this would be covered by the current moratorium on core changes, though.
