If you want to show the float in a less noisy format, you can
explicitly format it using the 'g' or 'n' presentation type, which
essentially round to a given precision and strip off trailing zeros:
>>> '{:g}'.format(3*0.2)
'0.6'
thanks; looking in 2.7 source I believe that the old float.__str__ behaved like
'%.12g' formatting. I can't imagine why people thought this was a 'good' idea
though.
