Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com> added the comment: Just for reference, the effect of the alternative style is explained succinctly in the C99 standard (well, the N1256 draft, anyway):
"For a, A, e, E, f, F, g, and G conversions, the result of converting a floating-point number always contains a decimal-point character, even if no digits follow it. (Normally, a decimal-point character appears in the result of these conversions only if a digit follows it.) For g and G conversions, trailing zeros are not removed from the result. For other conversions, the behavior is undefined." ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7094> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
