GIMPVS Home Page

This Python upgrade is based on Printing Floating Point Numbers Quickly and Accurately
and code samples can be found here: Floating-Point Printer Sample Code
This update mostly upgrades the way floating points are formatted through the repr python builtin function
The last Screen Capture is IronPython result for the repr call

Here is screenshot before upgrade PYTHONVS 2005 RC1A :
PYTHONVS 1.1 RC1A Floating point representation

repr(11./5) returns an unexpected - from a user perspective - result



And after upgrade - PYTHONVS 2008 RC1B debug build :

repr(11./5) PYTHONVS RC1B
after upgrading and according to Python latest source updates repr(11./5) returns 2.2
 

IronPython 2.0A6 repr call yields 2.2
