New submission from Retro <vinet...@gmail.com>: There's a typo in the docs. Please follow http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/string.html#format-specification-mini-language and find the below text, and fix the word 'Postive' to 'Positive', indicated between >>> and <<<:
'g' General format. For a given precision p >= 1, this rounds the number to p significant digits and then formats the result in either fixed-point format or in scientific notation, depending on its magnitude. The precise rules are as follows: suppose that the result formatted with presentation type 'e' and precision p-1 would have exponent exp. Then if -4 <= exp < p, the number is formatted with presentation type 'f' and precision p-1-exp. Otherwise, the number is formatted with presentation type 'e' and precision p-1. In both cases insignificant trailing zeros are removed from the significand, and the decimal point is also removed if there are no remaining digits following it. >>>Postive<<< and negative infinity, positive and negative zero, and nans, are >>>formatted as inf, -inf, 0, -0 and nan respectively, regardless of the >>>precision. A precision of 0 is treated as equivalent to a precision of 1. ---------- assignee: d...@python components: Documentation messages: 118482 nosy: Retro, d...@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Documentation: 'Postive' should be 'Positive' versions: 3rd party, Python 2.5, Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10078> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
