Right, that's the critical question here. For floats and ints, an explicitly-specified alignment type overrides the implicit "=". But Decimal raises. The Decimal behaviour seems more reasonable, but the float and int behaviours are more historically baked-in, and riskier to change. And then there's a parallel question with the fill character: should an explicitly-given fill override the "0"-fill character that's implicit in that "[0]"? int and float say "yes". Decimal says "ValueError". ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39077> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
