Eric Smith <e...@trueblade.com> added the comment: I agree. It would be nice, but the impact on existing code is too large. I can easily imagine someone parsing the output of "print(somecomplexnumber)" and not considering spaces.
For the record, it would require changing complex.__repr__ (which is also complex.__str__) and complex.__format__. Now that I look at the code, it seems that complex_format is only called from one place (complex_repr), with fixed parameters. It could be moved into complex_repr for what I think is a small improvement in readability. ---------- nosy: +eric.smith _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10621> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
