How to print zero-padded floating point numbers in python 2.6.1

Hello, I thought that I could zero-pad a floating point number in 'print' by inserting a zero after '%', but this does not work. I get: print '%2.2F' % 3.5 3.50 print '%02.2F' % 3.5 3.50 How can I get print (in a simple way) to print 03.50? Best Regards, Lorenzo --
