Assuming that Mark's and my changes in the py3k-short-float-repr branch get checked in shortly, I'd like to deprecate PyOS_ascii_formatd. Its functionality is largely being replaced by PyOS_double_to_string, which we're introducing on our branch. PyOS_ascii_formatd was introduced to fix the issue in PEP 331. PyOS_double_to_string addresses all of the same issues, namely a non-locale aware double-to-string conversion. PyOS_ascii_formatd has an unfortunate interface. It accepts a printf-like format string for a single double parameter. It must parse the format string into the parameters it uses. All uses of it inside Python already know the parameters and must build up a format string using sprintf, only to turn around and have PyOS_ascii_formatd reparse it. In the branch I've replaced all of the internal calls to PyOS_ascii_format with PyOS_double_to_string. My proposal is to deprecate PyOS_ascii_formatd in 3.1 and remove it in 3.2. The 2.7 situation is tricker, because we're not planning on backporting the short-float-repr work back to 2.7. In 2.7 I guess we'll leave PyOS_ascii_formatd around, unfortunately. FWIW, I didn't find any external callers of it using Google code search. And as a reminder, the py3k-short-float-repr changes are on Rietveld at http://codereview.appspot.com/33084/show. So far, no comments.
