:mod:`fpformat` --- Floating point conversions ============================================== .. module:: fpformat :synopsis: General floating point formatting functions. :deprecated: .. deprecated:: 2.6 The :mod:`fpformat` module has been removed in Python 3. .. sectionauthor:: Moshe Zadka <moshez@zadka.site.co.il> The :mod:`fpformat` module defines functions for dealing with floating point numbers representations in 100% pure Python. .. note:: This module is unnecessary: everything here can be done using the ``%`` string interpolation operator described in the :ref:`string-formatting` section. The :mod:`fpformat` module defines the following functions and an exception: .. function:: fix(x, digs) Format *x* as ``[-]ddd.ddd`` with *digs* digits after the point and at least one digit before. If ``digs <= 0``, the decimal point is suppressed. *x* can be either a number or a string that looks like one. *digs* is an integer. Return value is a string. .. function:: sci(x, digs) Format *x* as ``[-]d.dddE[+-]ddd`` with *digs* digits after the point and exactly one digit before. If ``digs <= 0``, one digit is kept and the point is suppressed. *x* can be either a real number, or a string that looks like one. *digs* is an integer. Return value is a string. .. exception:: NotANumber Exception raised when a string passed to :func:`fix` or :func:`sci` as the *x* parameter does not look like a number. This is a subclass of :exc:`ValueError` when the standard exceptions are strings. The exception value is the improperly formatted string that caused the exception to be raised. Example:: >>> import fpformat >>> fpformat.fix(1.23, 1) '1.2'
