Consider the scenario, >> a = 10 >> "{0:.2f}".format(a) '10.00'
This returns a string 10.00. But what is the preferred method to retain 10.0 (float) as 10.00 (float)? I am trying to assign the value to a cell of a spreadsheet, using python-xlwt. I would like to have 10.00 as the value that is right aligned. With text it is left aligned. -- Sri Ramadoss M -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
