Force python to not output a float in standard form / scientific notation / exponential form [duplicate]

Answer 1

Here's zwol's answer simplified and converted to standard python format:

import re
def format_float_in_standard_form(f):
    s = str(f)
    m = re.fullmatch(r'(-?)(\d)(?:\.(\d+))?e([+-]\d+)', s)
    if not m:
        return s
    sign, intpart, fractpart, exponent = m.groups('')
    exponent = int(exponent) + 1
    digits = intpart + fractpart
    if exponent < 0:
        return sign + '0.' + '0'*(-exponent) + digits
    exponent -= len(digits)
    return sign + digits + '0'*exponent + '.0'
