RE: Remove integer from float number
Sorry about the Top Posting that I did before. It is just the style I am used to using, and I didn't realize that it was different here. I won't do it again. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Ahh yes you have to put parenthases around the string formatting to remove the integer using indexes. Thanks, that's just what I needed! Derek Basch -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I think it's better to remove leading zeros explicitly:
('%.3x' % x).lstrip('0')

For the example given, my code works. With so little information the only thing I could do is answer the specific question and caveat it that I don't know exactly what OP is trying to accomplish. By the OPs response to my post, it was what he was looking for. But I agree it is very much an edge-case question. -Larry Bates -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Remove integer from float number
okay... out of curiousity... how would you then seperate the interger value from the fractional part do something to one side and then put it back together... like if you had 8.01 and you want to add to the '8' part in one way (ordinary decimal) and add to the .01 part modulo something .. like say modulo 12 so that adding .11 to 8.01 would give you 9.0 ... so that you had something like: . . . 7.11, 8.00, 8.01, 8.02, 8.03, 8.04, 8.05. 8.06, 8.07, 8.08, 8.09, 8.10, 8.11, 9.00 ... why you might ask? This is one way that computer's can understand musical pitch... the '.xx' part represents the pitch classes (chromatically c-b) and the integer portion represents the octave... go from b 7.11 to c (7.12 = 8.0) and likewise down from c (6.00 for example) to b 5.11 ... sometimes you want to 'pop' off the pitch-class portion of the number and do things but also keep track of your octave crossings sometimes you think why would anyone want to do that so here is why i could use such a thing.. you have sort of compound notation that has to account for the base 12 part of the problem and our octaves in regular base 10... hehe... sorry iffin i am highjacking the thread .. -k -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
