Description of 'g' and 'G' conversion types of string formatting
operator at http://www.python.org/doc/2.5.2/lib/typesseq-strings.html is:
  Floating point format. Uses exponential format if exponent is greater
than -4 or less than precision, decimal format otherwise.

Should be:
  Floating point format. Uses exponential format if exponent is less
than -4 or not less than precision, decimal format otherwise.
