Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment: Too late for 2.7, but I would like this to hit 3.2. Some calculators have engineering format as an output option and it would be good for Python.
This issue is being discussed in python-list in thread "Engineering numerical format...". The OP (or someone) posted an Engineer(float) class with a .format method that does what *he* would like. Participants have been invited by Mark to comment here. It was noted that Decimal has a .to-engineering-string method, but it follows the standard at page 20 of speleotrove.com/decimal/decarith.pdf which is different from what is being asked for. ---------- nosy: +tjreedy versions: -Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8060> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
