| This seems to be wrong: >>> "{0:.2}".format(1.2345) '1.2' The same happens for format specifiers "g" and "n", but not for "f": >>> "{0:.2f}".format(1.2345) '1.23' With empty format specifier it can even get really wrong: >>> "{0:.1}".format(1.2345) '1.0' | ||

| Just found it documented for the % operator: There precision is number of digits before and after decimal point for format "g". But then the documentation for 2.6 is wrong: "The precision is a decimal number indicating how many digits should be displayed after the decimal point for a floating point value." | ||
