How to display a float with two decimal places?
Solution 1:
Since this post might be here for a while, lets also point out python 3 syntax:
"{:.2f}".format(5)
Solution 2:
You could use the string formatting operator for that:
>>> '%.2f' % 1.234
'1.23'
>>> '%.2f' % 5.0
'5.00'
The result of the operator is a string, so you can store it in a variable, print etc.
