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:

Hi Maxim,
If it's the trailing zeroes you're concerned about, here's a work-around:
>>> ('%.2f' % 10.5678).rstrip('0')
'10.57
I'm sure there are better solutions. But this one works for your need,
right?

You are confused. '\xd6\xd0\xce\xc4' is an encoded byte string, not a

mongo = heavy_lifting_at_runtime();
first_time = FAL
