Wolfgang Maier added the comment:
actually, I'm not sure whether formatting Decimals gives correct output under
all conditions (correctly rounded yes, but maybe not formatted correctly?).
compare:
>>> format(float('1.481e-6'),'.3g')
'1.48e-06'
>>> format(Decimal('1.481e-6'),'.3g')
'0.00000148'
>>> format(float('1.481e-7'),'.3g')
'1.48e-07'
>>> format(Decimal('1.481e-7'),'.3g')
'1.48e-7'
So with the 'g' specifier the switch between floating point and scientific
notation seems to be broken.
Also note the slightly different formatting of the exponent: the leading zero
is missing for all specifiers, i.e. 'g', 'G', 'e', 'E'.
Are these bugs ?
