I still think this is a special case that we won't "fix". And even if we did,
you'd have to wait until 3.5.
But instead of your solution, it might be easier to wrap your floats in a class
that implements your version of format, based on float's format with some
post-processing:
class MyFloat(float):
def __format__(self, fmt):
s = float.__format__(self, fmt)
if s[1] == '0':
return s[0] + s[2:]
return s
print(format(MyFloat(0.12345678), '+8.8'))
print(format(MyFloat(1.12345678), '+8.8'))
gives:
+.12345678
+1.1234568
I've grossly simplified __format__, of course. And I'm using built-in format()
instead of ''.format() (because it's less typing), but they use the same
mechanisms. So:
print('{}:"{:+10.8}"'.format('answer', MyFloat(0.12345678)))
gives:
answer:"+.12345678"
