New submission from John Belmonte <j...@neggie.net>:
proposal: add a string formatting option to normalize negative 0 values to 0 use case: rounded display of a float that is nominally 0, where the distraction of a flashing minus sign from minute changes around 0 is unwanted example: >>> '%~5.1f' % -.00001 ' 0.0' format spec before: format_spec ::= [[fill]align][sign][#][0][width][grouping_option][.precision][type] after: format_spec ::= [[fill]align][sign][~][#][0][width][grouping_option][.precision][type] where '~' is only allowed for number types implementation: if '~' is present in the spec, add 0 to the value after applying precision ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 407792 nosy: John Belmonte priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: string formatting: normalize negative zero type: enhancement _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45995> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
