[Python-Dev] Sort out formatting differences in decimal and float

Hi, I'm in the process of implementing formatting in my C-decimal module. Since testing is quite time consuming, I would appreciate a binding decision on how the following should be formatted: >>> from decimal import * >>> format(float(1234), '020,g') '0,000,000,000,001,234' >>> format(float(1234

Mark> So should commas be inserted for any fill character at all? While I'm at it, it makes no sense to me to pad numbers with anything other than whitespace or zero. (BTW: I have never liked the new format() stuff, so I will be sticking with %-formatting as long as it exists in Python. My
