Hi,
I'd like to discuss reopening this wontfix'ed ticket:
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/30761
The issue is that for values between 0 and -0.5, the floatformat filter
returns "-0", whereas I think that most people would expect it to return
"0".
The ticket was wontfix'ed because "this behavior is consistent with
builtin round() and -0 exists in floating-point arithmetic".
Can I propose that in this case the better way to decide the result that
it should produce is to ask what an ordinary person would expect to see,
rather than what's consistent with a particular Python function?
When humans round -0.3 to the nearest whole number, we express the
result as 0, not -0. Given that the point of template tags and filters
is to make data more human-readable, I think returning "0" is preferable
in this case than returning "-0".
If this ticket is reopened, I'll be happy to submit a patch for it.
Cheers,
Sky
