Mucking about with the string is one solution. Here is another:
print int(float(x))
I do it like this because if
x = 132.15

Is it likely that x might not have any decimal
places? If so all the above solutions fail when x

How about:
if . in x:
x, frac = x.split(.)
frac = frac.rstrip(0)
if frac:
x = x + . + frac
Copes if x

The two-strip solution is cleaner, but:
if x.endswith(0):
x = x[:len(x)-1]
x = x[:-1]
or
del x[-1]
both improve that one

is there a better way to do this? It seems a bit ugly to me.
The following works as long as you don't mind losing leading zeros
as well:
x = x.strip('0')
How about:
if . in x:
x, frac = x.split(.)
frac = frac.rstrip(0)
if frac:
x = x + . + frac
Or simpler still:
if . in x:
x = x.rstrip(0)
x = x.rstrip(.)
More concise, but slightly less readable IMO:
if . in x:
x =

But that's not it. :-)
This is a wonderful opportunity for you to learn about unit testing, and
begin the long process of developing good testing habits. Of all the

D'oh! There was a typo in my message above. Naturally, I meant to
write M. Hammond instead of Mark Hammond.

How 'bout:

Y = int(float(X));

The input is a string, %g expects a float, TypeError exception.

Forget about the previous mail, i just saw you were converting the

into the good ol' float imprecision issue sooner than later.
Not to mention that %g formats to scientific notation (e.g. exponential

This fails on anything that isn't already an integer (in the math sense,
not the Python type sense), such as 132.15 which was one of the OP's
actual examples.
