This rounding works when the rounded values don't have trailing zeroes, right? It's possible to add these zeroes using string formatting, when you want to display them. >>> "%.3f" % 1.4 '1.400' See http://docs.python.org/lib/typesseq-strings.html for more information on string formatting operations.
