It's got nothing to do with the math module.  Any floating point number, 
whether produced by the math module or not, can be converted to a 
printable representation using the % operator with a format string:

 >>> x = 1.84467440737e+19
 >>> x
1.84467440737e+19
 >>> print '%25.3f' % x
 18446744073699999744.000
 >>> print '%12.5e' % x
 1.84467e+19
 >>> print '%12.5g' % x
  1.8447e+19

See http://docs.python.org/lib/typesseq-strings.html for all he details.
