Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

Issue for PR to implement PEP 786 so I can link to this issue in blurb in the PR.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

Forum discussions:

• Pre-PEP discussion: https://discuss.python.org/t/implement-precision-format-spec-for-int-type-data/80760
• PEP discussion: https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-786-precision-and-modulo-precision-flag-format-specifiers-for-integer-fields/106907

Implementation discussions:

• Old implementation discussion, discarded. gh-74756: support precision field for integer formatting types #131926
• Some talk of modulo-precision: Add integer formatting code for fixed-width signed arithmetic (2's complement) #74756

Actual implementation:

• Reference implementation Issue: Implement PEP 786: Precision and modulo-precision flag format specifiers for integer fields #146436
• Reference implementation PR: gh-146436: Implementation of PEP 786 #146437

PEPs repo:

• Merged PR: PEP 786: Precision and Modulo-Precision Flag format specifiers for integer fields peps#4416
