Now you have me *thoroughly* intrigued. It's not %h (incomplete format
- h is a modifier), nor %H (unsupported format character). Do you mean
%x? As of 3.4.0b2, that happily truncates a float:

>>> "%x" % 3.14
'3'

Is that changing in 3.5? Seems a relatively insignificant point, tbh!
Anyway, no biggie.
