I want the mantissa and decimal exponent of a float, in base 10: mantissa and exponent of 1.2345e7 => (1.2345, 7)
(0.12345, 8) would also be acceptable. The math module has a frexp() function, but it produces a base-2 exponent: >>> math.frexp(1.2345e7) (0.73581933975219727, 24) Have I missed a built-in or math function somewhere? -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
