Hi,
in Python 3.1.1, I get this:
Python 3.1.1 (r311:74480, Oct 22 2009, 19:34:26)
[GCC 4.3.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> 2j
2j
>>> -2j
-2j
>>> -0-2j
-2j
>>> (-0-2j)
-2j
>>> -(2j)
(-0-2j)
The last line differs from what earlier Python versions printed here:
Python 2.6.2 (r262:71600, Oct 22 2009, 20:58:58)
[GCC 4.3.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> 2j
2j
>>> -2j
-2j
>>> -0-2j
-2j
>>> (-0-2j)
-2j
>>> -(2j)
-2j
I know at least that the float repr() was modified in Py3.1, but is the
above behaviour intentional? It certainly breaks doctests, and I don't see
a good reason for that.
