Doc for 3.4: at 6.1.3.1. Format Specification Mini-Language indicates that: "The precision is a decimal number indicating how many digits should be displayed after the decimal point for a floating point value" Yet I find that I get this behavior: Python 3.4.3 (default, Mar 26 2015, 22:03:40) [GCC 4.9.2] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> '{:08.3}'.format(12.34) '000012.3' When what I am expecting is: '0012.340'
