Mark Dickinson added the comment: I know I'm coming a bit late to this discussion, but I wanted to point out that the C99 standard does actually specify how many digits should be in the exponent of a "%e"-formatted number:
In section 7.19.6, in the documentation for fprintf, it says: "The exponent always contains at least two digits, and only as many more digits as necessary to represent the exponent." Not that that's necessarily a reason for Python to do the same :) ---------- nosy: +marketdickinson __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1600> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
