[New-bugs-announce] [issue31684] Scientific formatting of decimal 0 different from float 0

[Aaron Meurer]

New submission from Aaron Meurer <asmeurer at gmail.com>:

>>> '{:+.19e}'.format(0.)
'+0.0000000000000000000e+00'
>>> import decimal
>>> '{:+.19e}'.format(decimal.Decimal(0))
'+0.0000000000000000000e+19'

Note the decimal uses e+19 instead of e+00. Obviously it's still mathematically correct, but it's annoying to have anything other than e+00 for a 0 value.
