I'm looking for a way to pad the float decimals with zeros:
This one is my reference:
In [37]: '{:5.5}'.format(round(4.123456, 5))
Out[37]: '4.1235'
I have this:
In [38]: '{:5.5}'.format(4.1)
Out[38]: ' 4.1'
But I would like to have this:
Out[38]: '4.1000'

To format a floating point number with a given precision you should use the 'f' specifier. Without it the value is formatted as a string.
>>> '{:.4f}'.format(4.1)
'4.1000
You can also specify the minimum width of the complete output and the fill character:
>>> '{:07.4f}'.format(4.1)
'04.1000'
Here the output is padded on the left with zeros to be at least 7 characters.
