Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com> added the comment: I'd be happy to see `float.__setformat__` go, if it's not still needed for Python's test suite (which was its entire raison d'être). If no-one noticed the accidental misnaming, then it's pretty clear no-one's been using it.
I'd like to bet that there are at least a few people out there using float.__getformat__, despite that its docstring says "You probably don't want to use this function". Maybe we could consider moving the information contained in __getformat__ to somewhere more accessible (e.g., a new field in sys.float_info)? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46852> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
