Terry J. Reedy added the comment: When I wrote my previous message, I was reading the link above and did not notice that it want to the old 2.7 docs. The 3.x entry is fine.
Perhaps 6.1.3.1. Format Specification Mini-Language could end with Rounding of floats is the same as for round(). under the box, with 'round()' linked to its entry. >From what you said, % does half to even on my system only because that is what >MC VC10 does. 4.7.2. printf-style String Formatting could add "Rounding is >system dependent" as note 6 (currently missing!). I removed 2.7 because is seems like a mess and mostly does not use the new rule. But from what you say, only round() itself is different. 'Half-away-from-0' could be added, with a note about changing in py 3. The note for .format would have to give the rule rather than refer to round(). Did I get it all right? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17259> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
