[Numpy-discussion] set_printoptions precision and single floats

Hi, numpy.set_printoptions(precision=...) doesn't affect single floats, even if they are numpy floats rather than Python floats. Is this a bug or is there some reason for this behaviour? I ask because I have a class that derives from numpy.float64 and adds some extra information, and I'd like to be able to control the precision. I could fix it to use the precision set by numpy.set_printoptions, but then it would be inconsistent with how numpy itself handles precision. Thoughts? Dan
