| From http://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html#formatspec: > The presence of a fill character is signaled by the character > following it, which must be one of the alignment options. If the > second character of format_spec is not a valid alignment option, > then it is assumed that both the fill character and the alignment > option are absent. The fact that the second character in the format_spec is not an alignment option is not sufficient to declare that the alignment option is absent: the alignment option may be the first character in the format_spec. For example: >>> '{:^10}'.format(42) ' 42 ' I suggest the following wording: The presence of a fill character is signaled by the character following it, which must be one of the alignment options. Unless the second character of format_spec is a valid alignment option, the fill character is assumed to be absent. | ||
