I was able to find a solution to my problem. If anyone else wants to
do the same thing, I added the following function to unum/__init_.py.
def round(self, sig_fig):
''' returns a string representation of the number w/ units
showing only the set number of significant digits
'''
return '%s %s' % (round(self.asNumber(),sig_fig), self.strUnit
())
This just gives you a method to print the number of desired digits.
