New submission from Carsten Grohmann <[email protected]>:
Hi,
the documentation of the decimal module contains a small recipe called
moneyfmt() for format decimal values. It's very usefull.
I'd like to suggest a small improvement because the output is incorrect with
given dp="." (default) and places=0.
Example:
>>> moneyfmt(decimal.Decimal('-0.02'), neg='<', trailneg='>', places=1)
'<0.0>'
>>> moneyfmt(decimal.Decimal('-0.02'), neg='<', trailneg='>', places=0)
'<0.>'
Change:
--- moneyfmt.py 2011-01-03 13:56:32.774169788 +0100
+++ moneyfmt.py.new 2011-01-03 13:56:58.130165330 +0100
@@ -33,7 +33,8 @@
build(trailneg)
for i in range(places):
build(next() if digits else '0')
- build(dp)
+ if places:
+ build(dp)
if not digits:
build('0')
i = 0
What do you think about the change?
Regrads,
Carsten
