Like a puzzle? I need to interface python output to some strange old program. It wants to see numbers formatted as:
e.g.: 0.23456789E01 That is, the leading digit is always 0, instead of the first significant digit. It is fixed width. I can almost get it with '% 16.9E', but not quite. My solution is to print to a string with the '% 16.9E' format, then parse it with re to pick off the pieces and fix it up. Pretty ugly. Any better ideas? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
