If no format specifier is supplied to a float, it's supposed to work like 'g', but with at least one digit after the decimal. This works for non-exponential notation: >>> format(1., '') '1.0' >>> format(1., 'g') '1' But for exponential notation, it does not: >>> format(1e200, '') '1e+200' >>> >>> format(1e200, 'g') '1e+200'
