Format Specification

format_spec     ::=  [[fill]align][sign][#][0][!][width][grouping_option][%[-]margin][.precision][type]
fill            ::=  <any character>
align           ::=  "<" | ">" | "=" | "^"
sign            ::=  "+" | "-" | " "
width           ::=  digit+
grouping_option ::=  "_" | ","
precision       ::=  digit+
type            ::=  "e" | "E" | "f" | "F" | "g" | "G" | "h" | "j" | "J" | "n" | "%"

Prefixed-specific fields are defined below. Descriptions of standard fields can be found in the Format Specification Mini-Language documentation.

Prefixed-specific fields

Flags

Flag	Meaning
'!'	Add a single space between number and prefix

Margin

By default, a prefix will be used when the magnitude of that prefix is reached. For example, format(Float(999), '.1h') will result in '999.0' and format(Float(1000), '.1h') will result in '1.0k'.

Margin specifies the percentage to raise or lower these thresholds.

>>> f'{Float(950):%-5.2h}'
'0.95k'

>>> f'{Float(1000):%5.2h}'
'1000.00'

Presentation Types

Type	Meaning
'h'	SI format. Outputs the number with closest divisible SI prefix. (k, M, G, …)
'j'	IEC Format. Outputs the number with closest divisible IEC prefix. (Ki, Mi, Gi, …)
'J'	Short IEC Format. Same as 'j' but only a single character. (K, M, G, …)
