def strip_zero(s):
if '.' not in s:
return s
s = s.rstrip('0')
if s.endswith('.'):
s += '0'
return s
And in use:
py> strip_zero('-10.2500')
'-10.25'
py> strip_zero('123000')
'123000'
py> strip_zero('123000.0000')
'123000.0'
It doesn't support exponential format:
py> strip_zero('1.2300000e3')
'1.2300000e3'
because it isn't clear what you intend to do under those circumstances.
