I am hoping to submit a PR for a __format__ numpy enhancement proposal this weekend. I will be a slightly revised version of my original draft posted here two weeks ago. Ryan, if you have any thoughts on the writeup so far, I'd love to hear them.

There was also a very thorough discussion of this recently on this mailing list:

Hi,

Can someone take a look at: https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/7978

The crux of the issue is that this:

# This works

a = "%0.3g" % np.array(2)

a

'2'

# This does not

a = "{0:0.3g}".format(np.array(2))

TypeError: non-empty format string passed to object.__format__

I've now hit this in my code. If someone can even point me in the general direction of the code to dig into for this (please let it be python, please let it be python...), I'll dig in more.

Ryan
