I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend anyone. I just felt I was failing to communicate the issue when I got the suggestion to use format(Decimal(1), ".2f"). > The above sentence you wrote directly contradicts the Wikipedia link you have thrown at us. The floats I posted are examples of computation results. The meaningful figures are related to the precision of the measurements fed to the computation. > by different authors and produce exactly the results that you criticize.

I just miss a pythonic way of dealing with significant figures. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20502> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
