Hmm. Thinking about this some more, I don't think this is true: format() shouldn't be throwing away significant information (in Decimal the number of trailing zeros *is* significant information) unless that's necessary to fit the result into the given precision. So I think the current code is correct. However, we could do with documenting the precise rules being used for Decimal formatting somewhere. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7098> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
