I just did some testing... it can go to five characters when binary prefixes are used for e.g. "1023K". Also, interesting quirk - it always rounds up. 1025 bytes is "1.1K", and in SI mode, 1001 bytes is "1.1k" _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
