Thanks for pointing that out. Does the engineering community get by with the decimal module? Even though this uses the to_eng_string() function, and even though I am using the decimal.Context class: >>> c = decimal.Context(prec=5) >>> decimal.Decimal(1234567).to_eng_string(c) '1234567' That is not an engineering notation string. --Keith Brafford -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
