[issue35638] Introduce fixed point locale aware format type for floating point numbers

Done. Please note, that there is an inconsistency between float/complex/int/_pydecimal(!) and decimal. The former provide only 'n' format type and the latter provides 'n' and 'N'. So I implemented 'm' and 'M' for decimal and 'm' for _pydecimal. > (which it probably does, but needs a test) There are no tests for 'n'. Should I create for both 'm' and 'n'? > And, I think we'll need to run this through python-ideas first. One thing I > expect to come up there: why f and not g? Because 'g' has been already covered with 'n'. -- ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue35638> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Łukasz Stelmach added the comment: As much as I am open to any suggestions for naming and such (although I think 'm' together with 'n' are a good supplement for 'f' and 'g'), I really would like to introduce a method to format numbers with fixed number of decimal digits (it looks good in tables) and with separators from locale. -- ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue35638> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Łukasz Stelmach added the comment: Indeed. Thank you. I was sure I had tried this. However, this is still only a workaround and not the solution I need. I am working on a project now which uses pint https://pint.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ which uses format() and its relatives. With "n" format present Python is missing locale-aware "f" formatter anyway. -- ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue35638> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
