python - Casting float to string without scientific notation

Question

The float:

fl = 0.000005

casts to String as str(fl)=='5e-06'. however, I want it to cast as str(fl)='0.000005' for exporting to CSV purposes.

How do I achieve this?

Answer 1

You can just use the standard string formatting option stating the precision you want

>>> fl = 0.000005
>>> print '%.6f' % fl
0.000005
