round/float question

[Jason Tesser]

I am using Rekall which uses Python as it's scripting language  and I have a question about Python.  I am developing a POS system and am working on 
the checkout form. I pass a parameter named SaleID and another one named Total.  I am trying to take total and convert it to a float with 2 decimals top be used as money obviously.  What would be the proper syntax for this?  I tried Total = round(Total [, 2]) i also tried that with float.
