How do I format a floating number to a fixed width with the following requirements:
- Leading zero if n < 1
- Add trailing decimal zero(s) to fill up fixed width
- Truncate decimal digits past fixed width
- Align all decimal points
For example:
% formatter something like '{:06}'
numbers = [23.23, 0.123334987, 1, 4.223, 9887.2]
for number in numbers:
print formatter.format(number)
The output would be like
23.2300
0.1233
1.0000
4.2230
9887.2000
