Antti Haapala added the comment: Ok, after reading the "spec" it seems that the engineering exponent is indeed printed for positive exponents *if* the precision of the number is less than the digits of the exponent, which I didn't realize that I should be testing.
However the *precision* of decimals is meaningless anyhow. Add a very precisely measured '0e0' to any number and the sum also has exponent of 0, and is thus never displayed in exponential notation. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26223> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
