Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported f-string example in Transcrypt with Python 3.7.16 and inspect the generated JavaScript for float formatting. The issue names no source files or tests; done means determining whether the result is a compiler bug and, if so, adding behavior or coverage that preserves the requested two-digit precision.

Description

IS: bug?

Hi,
I'm using 3.7.16 and can't print a float with a precision of 2:

n = float("10.10")
print(f"{n:.2f}")
10.1

Is it a bug or am I doing it wrong?
