4.6 fpformat -- Floating point conversions

The fpformat module defines functions for dealing with floating point numbers representations in 100% pure Python. Note: This module is unneeded: everything here could be done via the % string interpolation operator.

The fpformat module defines the following functions and an exception:

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.
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.
NotANumber
Exception raised when a string does not look like a number when the documentation says it should.

Example: 

>>> import fpformat
>>> fpformat.fix(1.23, 1)
'1.2'
