[SciPy-user] nice floating point display ?

[Stef Mientki]

hello,

I'm creating an float / log slider,
now I need a nice representation of the min / max / value
of the slider.

For some unknown reason    
  set_printoptions(precision=2)
doesn't work,
and I doubt if it is adequate in my application,
because precision and notation depends more on the range
than on the actual value itself.

Does anyone has a elegant solution ?

thanks,
Stef Mientki
