Is there a way to limit raw_input to the hundredth decimal point?For example, I'd like to allow the user to enter 5.75 but not 5.756: dollars = raw_input("Please enter a dollar amount: $") Thanks! _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
If you're using Windows you can use the msvcrt module which has an implementation of getch() which gets 1 character at a time. Then you would just scan your input 1 character at a time and as soon as a the `.` is used you can limit it to 2 further key-strokes before you "ban" input and carry on in your process flow.
