You might want to convert them to Decimal type. Look up the
following URL (Python documentation) for more information:
http://docs.python.org/library/decimal.html
If all you want to do is "print" the value upto 2 decimal points, then
a print with format specifier should do the trick. The following URL
(Stack Overflow) has this question answered:
