I’m running: Python 2.6.2 (r262:71605, Apr 14 2009, 22:40:02) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 I was testing out some print functionality and I made an error in typing (I meant to use %8.8f), but is this behavior intentional or is it an error? >> print '%8.8s' %(10000000001.) >> '10000000' I would expect this to return a TypeError. I also tested this on Python 2.4 and Python 2.5 on linux and had the same behavior. Steve |

The "s" causes the argument to be converted to a string, then the formatting is applied. So it's working as designed. This is the logical equivalent of: '%8.8s' % str(10000000001.) |
