The patch looks good to me. It's a bit unfortunate that -0.0 doesn't round-trip correctly (the sign of the zero gets lost): >>> eval(bin(-0.0)) 0.0 I don't know whether it's worth special-casing this; the output would have to be in a different format: '-0b0 * 2.0 ** 0' isn't good enough, since unary minus has higher precedence than multiplication.
