New submission from endolith <endol...@gmail.com>: Suggestion: Add an option to bin/hex/oct functions to format binary output with a minimum fixed width, including leading zeros. Also might be useful for hex and oct.
Currently, bin(18) produces '0b10010' with this change, something like bin(18, foo=8) would produce '0b00010010' Examples of people wanting this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3258330/converting-from-hex-to-binary-without-losing-leading-0s-python http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1002116/can-bin-be-overloaded-like-oct-and-hex-in-python-2-6 http://stackoverflow.com/a/1425558/125507 https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/programming-9/in-python-printing-leading-zero-for-hex-numbers-0-through-f-719426/ ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 159623 nosy: endolith priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Option to show leading zeros for bin/hex/oct type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14694> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
