> I'm surprised that 3.2 fixes this: the float-to-string conversion code > is pretty much identical in both 3.1 and 3.2. Whoops---not quite. The conversion code is pretty much identical, but 3.2 now uses a different algorithm for str (it's equal to repr now). So I'd expect that you'll see the issue in 3.2 too if you try something like '%.12g' % 38210.0 Kiriakos, can you explain a bit more what the difference is between the 'remote engine' and the 'stand along interpreter'? Is the core Python library compiled using different compilers for these two? Eric, are you able to reproduce this at all? I don't have access to Windows at the moment.

Whoops---not quite. The conversion code *is* pretty much identical, but 3.2 now uses a different algorithm for str (it's equal to repr now). So I'd expect that you'll see the issue in 3.2 too if you try something like
 '%.12g' % 38210.0
