Yes thanks: the 2nd is the simplest way to do what I want. > 120919 Marc Joliet described how to set a level of precision: Thanks too, but that's not what I wanted: it's not for printing, but simply to limit the display to eg 4 decimal places, not 16 ; the calculations still wb as accurate, but the output easier to read. Is that possible with Python ? -- ie a setting in ascript.py to tell Python to display only the 1st 4 places in all output without any further input from the user when doing the calculations; presumably it wb a command s/he could enter when in interactive mode too. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
