That's weird; must be version and/or OS dependent. On Fedora Core
'%.4e' % 1.0e50

How can I control the number of digits in the exponent when writing
floats to a file? It seems that Python2.4.2(winXP) prints three digits anyway.
>>> print 1.0e50
1e+050
>>> print '%e' % (1.0e50)
1e+050
I would prefer two digits in the exponent. Usually 3 digits is not a
problem, except for wais
