Format float with 2 digits before decimal, 6 after decimal
Question:
E.g. if I have 1.234 I’d like to format it as '01.234000.
I can get:
>>> f'{1.234:.6f}'
'1.234000'
but I also need a leading digit – how can I specify that within the f-string?
Answers:
The formatting specification takes a width before the period, and a zero in front of that to say you want leading zeros instead of leading spaces:
>>> f'{1.234:09.6f}'
'01.234000'
