I'd like to propose two minor changes to float and complex formatting, for 3.1. I don't think either change should prove particularly disruptive.
(1) Currently, '%f' formatting automatically changes to '%g' formatting for numbers larger than 1e50. ... I propose removing this feature for 3.1 No objections from me. +1 I propose changing the complex str and repr to behave like the float version. That is, repr(4. + 10.j) should be "(4.0 + 10.0j)" rather than "(4+10j)". No objections here either. +0 Doing it sooner rather than later means that it is less likely to disrupt anyone relying on the representation (i.e. doctests).
