[New-bugs-announce] [issue3411] str.format() on negative floats

[Hagen Fürstenau]

New submission from Hagen Fürstenau <hfuerstenau at gmx.net>:

This happens with an empty type field in the format specification:

>>> "{0:1}".format(-1.23)
'.0-1.23'

With type "g" it's ok:

>>> "{0:1g}".format(-1.23)
'-1.23'
