Hello! I need to format a decimal (floating point) number in the following way: 10 results in '10' 10.5 results in '10.5' 10.50 results in '10.5' 10.5678 results in 10.57
How can I achieve this using standard Python string formatting operations? Something like '%.2f' works almost as expected: >>> '%.2f' % 10.5 '10.50' >>> '%.2f' % 10.5678 '10.57' >>> '%.2f' % 10 '10.00' But I always need trailing zeros to be excluded, i.e. 10.5 should result in '10.5' (not '10.50'), and 10 should result in '10' (not '10.00'). So how can I do this? Sorry for my English. Thanks in advance. with regards, Maxim -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
