The documentation doesn't agree with the PEP. The docs at http://docs.python.org/library/string.html#formatstrings just say '' is the same as 'g'. It does not draw a distinction between exponential and fixed output. The PEP has the "at least one digit after the decimal" language. It also does not draw a distinction between exponential and fixed output.
